    Old Radiators - New TRV's

    How much difference are we talking ? I would cut the copper and put new pieces in but if you are not confident then it might be easier to drop the rad 1/2" or whatever. Most rad valves will be the same length.

    Caravan sited on large plot lawful through passage of time?

    If it's not fixed to the ground,on wheels and is movable then you wont need planning permission.This is why a lot of stables are now built on sledges and can be moved one foot if need be.
