Hi sambotc, Just to keep you informed sam, first, I must have misunderstood you regarding moving my cylinder, and after feeling very despondent, (pi**ed of in other words) I emailed the engineer who fitted the stove in the first place,( as i've said before is off work at the...

Hi sambotc I have gone round the rads, to balance them myself, and I did not find it made much difference, I also knew which is the flow and return, as I fixed them in the first place, many years ago, and I had also marked them for the heating engineer, to save him time...
