    One cold rad - need some advice...

    Thanks... the new rad was a replacement and relocation of an existing rad - in the same room. There is a header tank - so I am presuming not microbore?

    One cold rad - need some advice...

    My thinking was that the whole BALANCE of the ENTIRE system was out of kilter - therefore no pressure to this particular rad but all the others are OK. Or is that not how the balancing works?

    One cold rad - need some advice...

    So - if the result of the test is the same - how has he managed to diagnose that the fault is a blocked/kinked pipe - as opposed to a "mere" balancing issue? If it's "just balancing" then I don't have the grief of ripping up the floor/ceiling.

    Power Shower Pump tripping breaker

    I have a power shower pump housed in the loft, plugged into the mains via a small plug in circuit breaker. This all works fine except that periodically the shower won't turn on as the breaker has tripped. A reset is all that is needed. This happens maybe once a month: doesn't correspond...
