No. Buy another bowl

Pics would be good but sounds like a non-starter. I would pull the lot down. How bad we the bits you can't see likely to be?,

In the three properties i have lived in over the last 20 years all have had outside taps on the rear wall and i have never bothered to turn off water or insulate them over the winter. They have never caused me an issue (yet)

A dram of this beauty

As you say, UV not an issue when it’s all buried in floorboards. I hear similar comments regarding speedfit/etc fittings for central heating. Used for 15ish years in all three of my houses I’ve owned and never had a problem.

you could put them in the new radiator when fitting it, pour in before fitting the bleed valve. This kit will help

Gotta love the earth bonding! a) Bonded to a copper pipe, tick! b) Copper pipe through plastic pushfit, ahhh dont worry about it!

You cant disconnect the flexi at the top (after the isolator), the only way to take them off is to do so by loosening the bottom nut. You would need to turn off your water (hot & cold) then drain the system at the tap here, then remove. You can purchase end stops (such as these (if your pipe is...
