    Radiators too hot, not responding to room thermostat position

    The conventional central heating system was installed in 1987 when the house was built and has been largely untouched since then (pump and Honeywell valve changed over the years) Over the last couple of days we seem unable to reduce the temperature of the radiators (there are no TRVs fitted)...
