    God, you guys stay up late! Right, not scientifically accurate but here it goes - CW at kitchen tap (monoblock mixer set to cold) - 20L/min HW at same tap (although very cold) - 10L/min Cant get even luck warm at this tap (10m from boiler) HW with acceptable temp at...

    general joints plumbing

    I'll try to help you out... You say its old 3/4" pipe. Was the section to be jointed sound, and free from scratches/burs. A scratch along the length of a pipe will cause a leak path.

    removing a radiator

    I always remove the old fittings from the rad as they could be specific to the valve and then blank these. In my experiance theres two maybe 3 different size valve fittings but only one inlet size on a rad 3/4bsp I think. Do this a couple of times and you've always got a set of cheap blanks...
