Hugh, system not drained down yet as I want to bond/prime the new plaster and then paint before I put the rads back. I think I will do away with the isolation valves seeing as I can disconnect the rads via the flow and thermostat. Tony, its open vented (and the liquid in the feed and...

turned off the flow and set the heat control to 0 at the Rads and just lifted them off the pipework - all ok and no leaks. The corrosion is odd as we only had all new Rads fitted about two years ago and the Plumber asked if we wanted an inhibitor added and we said yep. Any suggestions as...

thanks for the advice - will have to wait until the morning to drain then. Do I need to replace the olives when I put the rad back or replace the section of pipe and olive?? Too late with the sludge water although but it doesn't seem to have stained :O(

Also the water seeping out of the valves is black !!!!

got a three wave valve and a plumber to fit - all sorted Many thanks for the info .......

If all else fails RTFM - I have a close coupled system with a Siphon, ballcock and flap valve - all nicely coated with crust. I would like to replace it with "modern , efficient" alternative. Fitting a flat push button might be problematic as the current handle sits on a curve of the...

That might even be the wrong question!!!! The mechanism inside the existing cistern is almost solid with limescale and it takes several goes to flush so I want to replace the internals .......

can I buy the parts to fit an existing cistern or do I need to purchase an assembled cistern? Any advice appreciated :?:

Water heats up fine ..... but so did the rads. By settings the thermostat and the rad valves we seem to have reduced the amount of heat they are emitting ( as you would expect ! )
