    one rad not getting hot in places

    Jointy, you can use anything that will get it in there, short piece of hose with a funnel is the easiest. Or as armo said you can screw a isolation valve into the rad and attach a piece of copper with a bend.

    No hot water, rads fine, open vented system

    If you have just identified a cistern in the loft that feeds you're C/H then you don't have a prismatic cylinder. Prismatic cylinders don't require a cistern.

    No hot water, rads fine, open vented system

    Artie, if you only have one cistern in the loft which is feeding into the bottom of the cylinder, you may have a primatic cylinder which fills the heating from the same cistern, its different to a coil in a standard cylinder, once the heating is full it makes it own airlock to seperate the...

    Radiators noisy when hot water turned off.

    it could possible be the diverter valve vibrating as it changes over, although i cant see this being strong enough to send shockwaves right around the system loud enough for you to hear, but cant see what else can be causing it apart from a pipe trapped with no room to expand.. get a engineer...

    New Install back to wall pan and wc back to wall unit

    Agree with CBF there is always a slight gap needed to slide the panel in, plus it is a rounded edge so it makes it look wider than it really is, will look fine once siliconed, stop worrying.

    Central heating being filled by cold water

    You maybe right in that the coil may have split, this is why the CWSC should always be fitted higher to the F&E so the water in the cylinder should have slightly more pressure than that in the coil, so the clean cold water will fill into the coil rather than the dirty heating water from your...

    Kink in copper pipe

    Well if its not kinked where it looks like it could split with the expansion of the pipe when hot and its not kinked massivly which could restrict the flow and cause squeling noises, then it should be okay, its just a cosmetic thing after that, might look abit rough.
