Its the most common rad used over here.

Because it looks like an aluminium rad. From what the OP is describing, he wants to remove the 1 1/4" bush, which on the left side of these radiators have a left hand thread.

The part you are trying to unscrew will have a reverse thread.

I'd have a guess that the brass tab that hits the stop would need to come out and be rotated a few degrees clockwise.

You could use a swan neck pan connector which will gain you a couple of inches, or you can shop around for a bottom outlet wc that fits your measurements. eg. http://www.homesupply.co.uk/twyford-refresh-close-coupled-wc-suite=RE1148WH-RE2996WH.htm

looks fine, the waste outlet is pretty much the same so you shouldn't have a problem.

Try and drain more out, any drain point on your heating system should do. The pressure should drop unless your filling loop is letting by or you have a problem with your cylinder or boiler Did you fill it up to 3.5bar or did it go up on its own?

When you say "tank" do you mean cylinder? if so do you know if its unvented or vented, ie do you have tanks in the loft? Where did you take the 3.5bar pressure reading from?

What type of system do you have?

Are you sure the filling loop is closed properly?

You could fix a board to the studs over the plasterboard, paint it white (or whatever colour your bathroom is) then hang the cistern.

Normally the valve is connected via a 1/2"-3/4" reducer which is supplied with most shower valves. If you have left yourself copper tails sticking out then you can use these...

can't you extend the pipe work?

Any chance of a pic? Not entirely sure what you're getting at.

To check stuff is working as it should.

most floats are adjustable, there should be a screw that allows you to lower or raise the float, or if it has a metal arm just bend it slightly.

It may be that the water level in the cistern isn't high enough, you can regulate this on the fill valve.

+1 Cut 3/4 of the way through the olive with a junior hacksaw, then insert a small flat screwdriver into the slot and twist, it should snap off, I find cutting diagonally across the olive is easier.

It does sound like you have a blockage of sorts on the hot side. If you have a mixer tap you could try and force mains cold water down the hot side by using a cloth, hold it over the spout as tight as possible, open the hot then the cold. You might get a bit wet in the process but it may help.

Your waste and trap are seperate items. You need to look for an unslotted basin waste (1" 1/4) to which you can attach any 1" 1/4 trap.
