Checked the boiler tank earlier. The bottom was cold, top luke warm. Turned the tapstat back up and now the whole tank is very hot. All ok. Thanks for your help guys I know I can leave that one alone. :)

Thanks JohnD. I don't want to waste all that hot water in one go so I'll do this. Leave the tapstat at the cold setting and by sometime this evening (I guess) my hot water supply should start to get colder. I'll post back how it goes as I may end up asking about your "New Old Stock " one. Cheers

Ok I feel like a doh! now. I was sure my mother used to use it to regulate the temp across the house. I turned it to it's coldest position last night obviously thinking that if the rads didn't get colder it would confirm that the TRV was faulty. Now that I have been educated what effect should I...

Thanks Nige. How does that affect my wish to remove the TRV. Is it manually connected to the TRV if so how? or is there a type of TRV that comes with this wire as i've not seen it anywhere.

Hi all. I'm going to drain down my system today to secure a new rad to the wall which I put up, thanks to the help of the form, on my own last week. I was also thinking that with the system drained I would set about changing a couple of TRV's that haven't worked for some time and which no...

Using this old thread instead of opening a new one. Exact same problem here. Just swapped out a single for a double radiator in my kitchen and now have my boiler sounds like a plane flying over head every so often. Have blead all rads and all are working correctly. Anyone have any ideas as I...

Thanks Burnerman :)

Update, Have just seen it on a 'push-fit' link so I guess it does just push and fit but can someone convince me that they work well. I'm going to be freezing the pipe before the joint and as i'll be working against time I wnat to be sure that these are as simple to fit as they appear.

I'm looking at an item on the screwfix website (Yorkshire Tectite Sprint Street Elbow 15mm 63054). before I go out an buy a couple can anyone tell me how this kind of connector is fitted. I'll have a TRV at the stem end secured by the nut with olive off the TRV. Is the othe side a simple push...

Many Thanks Glasgowgas. I'm off to do now. My kitchen is absolutely freezing. :D

Thanks glasgowgas. Out of interest and being as it's my own way of resolving the problem, do you happen to know if there are any other bendy parts one would use for the job or is that pretty much the best way around the problem. I did find some flexipipe from JG which was a winner until I read...

Hi. I've seen this question asked a few times around the web but those who answer don't seem to 'get' the question. I swapped out my single convection rad and have replaced it with a double convection rad. Naturally (or so I find the hard way) the distance between where the pipe used to enter...
