Hi Carl, No there is no slow drip/trickle from any of the taps. Last night we drained the system as well, and nothing is improving the situation. Could it be air in the system?

Hi John, In latest news...a make-shift arrestor has been fitted in the loft next to the water tank. Last night the noise was again occuring, louder than the last few nights (because I turned the pressure up on the PRV). I let some air out of the arrestor but this only reduced the sound and...
