Yeh, built 1964, yes, you are right , best to remove part of the path in question , which is around 6 Mtr and 3 Mtr round the corner , I did a cut into it awhile back with my Stihl saw and it cut down full cut of new blade , still solid concrete !. So I think I will do some cuts along the path...

Pipes Clang ( don't know if it is the valve banging !) when the Boiler fires up first thing in a morning for HW !.

When the heating is shut down on a night and there is no power to the Actuator, the spring will pull the valve back to the HW position, that is the default setting ( HW prority ) !.

It happens ( The clanging ) first thing on a morning, when the boiler fires up for Hot water !

It seems the knocking is when the HW comes on, turned HW thermo down and CH started on the morning and no knocking !. Spike
