plumbing and heating trouble

[thebeast]

Dude, I am far too hungover to pass judgement on anything more than a morning tu7d.

Don't forsee things changing until Sunday evening at the earliest

well after soldering all the new pipe work and getting it all done i put the water back on and yes you guessed it .... leaks ((( i was not amused so after looking at other options i took it all off and used compression parts. one of the other valves started leaking so i replaced that as well. i have bled all the rads and fired it up and low and behold it has done the trick ! (which made me very happy) had a fair few miss haps but got there in the end. i have turned the boiler down as the pump seemed to be getting hot. the pump is running on number 2 and the boiler is on 3 and a half. i know the pump will get warm but how hot should it get ?

all the best
