and what entails with the water treatment what is required and how is it done and at what cost, the radiators are old one bedroom rad also went, so got 4 to replace not good at all but as i said maybe a good idea to fit new rads and get it flushed through.

Hello, my door is leaking water into the entrance of our utility room when it rains the door is wood and it seems to dribble down the door and them come through the gap at the bottom, do i need something special to keep this out or will a brush draught excluder do ? thanks.

tried adjusting lockshield made no difference. cant work out if its pipes or rad, will try a flush.

bizarre i turned the radiator off at the valve but still its making the same noise ? could it be the lock shield.

but no harm in replacing them both is there may as well as screwfix do a trv valve and lockshield for a good price, definately not air as water comes out when i bleed and also not sure if it would make a difference but the water pump is set to speed 3 ? is that ok.

I know the rattle does not happen if i turn off the radiator and then put on the heating ?, but when i turn the valve to let the water in it starts to rattle.

And will that fix it ? ie is that the only part in the valve that can cause the fault ? yes i've fixed similar stuff on an even older boiler lol as well as installing pumps, thermistors, pilot mechanism etc etc.

So i wonder could i just replace the diaphram within the valve and the microswitch ? or is it a must the whole valve is replaced.
