If the upper floor motorised valve, is definitely opening, and you got a lot of air out of the system, it suggests there might still be an airlock affecting the upper floors.

Every couple of months, I need to manually put the caravan's battery on charge for a couple of days. To remind me, I set repeating reminder in MS Outlooks calendar to turn it on, then one a couple of days later to switch off. Would that do it for you?

It will make little difference to the pressure, but if it is over a bath or similar, you need to ensure it is not long enough so as to allow the head, possibly be dipped below the water level. Idea is, to prevent grey water, being syphonned back into the mains supply.

It has, and they show some really excellent factual programs.

The weather is warmish, the house is warmish - so there is less demand for heat from the boiler. What water the boiler does need to heat, will accumulate at the upper part of the radiators. Have you tried, setting the room thermostat, and the TRV's, to maximum? Is your house adequately warm? If...

I had never heard of it too!

I do it occasionally, find something interesting to study, go into it in detail, could be historical, mechanical, or etc. - trouble is, only a little of it sticks :-)

Just keep in mind - that the emptier the vessel, the more noise it makes!

I wonder if The Guardian is aware of the copyright infringements?

If it is only the downstairs lighting circuit tripping, then it is completely pointless unplugging things - things which you plug in, are not on that lighting circuit. Rather you should be doing what I suggested earlier - Turn a light on, on that downstairs lighting circuit, and leave it on, as...

Absolutely, they care nothing for the law.

I'm struggling, with this kit, to understand, the need for no less than three noise-makers... All, very loud - there is the outdoor bell box, the control panel itself, then a siren on the end of a 2.5m cable, which has to be plugged into the control panel. I'm thinking, to not bother installing...
