The dot on the end of the feed pipe is the cap, that pipe was originally feeding the return but is not blocked. cheers

Yep it's just like the image, except that the left feed has an extra bit of copper with an end cap now.

Well the other end goes to the original tee but as its disconnected its been capped. The other end of the new connection is more than a meter away from the tee out of the ring.

Ok so the new piping has been done, the pipe run from the main circuit is about 1.5 meters! So I think plenty of space. The pipe with the end cap was the original connection but has now been capped, the distance from the feed was about 20cm. Cheers

Lol no 10 downing street Make it out to a Mr D Cameron :D

Ok cheers for all your help guys. I'm going to do it tomorrow. I really appreciate your time, it was a silly mistake which would've cost me more than an hour of my time if you hadn't all posted, so thank you!

How About every time I want it to get hot I turn off the inlet valve lool!

If I tee from the main pipe into the horizontal run before the pipe gets to the right valve will that sort it?

So the rad will get hot once then not again. Well the same could be said for any rad on anyone pipe system right?
