I have purchased some TRV's and need some advice please. I have a 30 year old Danesmore oil boiler 80,000 btu running 13 rads and a copper tank. The rads have a 28mm pumped circuit from the boiler and the hot water tank has a convection circuit, I think, need to check. However do I need to leave the bathroom rad so it can convect all the time? do I need to leave more than one rad to convect or can I fit trv's to all.
The info with the valves tells you not to fit one in the room with a room thermostat which is the hall in my case.
I remember 30 years ago I fitted a Coal boiler system and as you don't have a lot of control over the heat so you needed to get rid of exccess heat by convection.
Next year I intend to upgrade the boiler so I don't want to do anything now that I have to change when I do upgrade.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Change system to fully pumped using either zone valves or three way valve.
Trv's on all rads except hallway, which is controlled by room thermostat, cylinder stat and fit an automatic by pass valve on system pipework.
