Thanks for your help today. Will my system work without the header tank for a while until I get a new connector tomorrow please?

Hiya, I have a side ginnel (alley for some of you) between me and next door, is a lean to a good idea? I don’t think I will be able to fix to the house next door so will have to install 3x3 wood near to their wall with some guttering, just going to be for storage and fire wood as I have a wood...

Ahh I get you sorry, so far I have had the hot water on on its own then on with the heating (different day) and both wasn’t much more than just the heating.

Hi, sorry, not sure what you mean?
