Perfect thank you

You didn't close the drain cock when refilling the system!

Other 'radiator removal' videos have suggested shutting off the heating and water system. This video doesn't mention anything about it? Is that something I should be doing prior to removing the radiator?

Why can't I get top cover off on mystair lift

Clear and succinct, made the job very simple. Thank you

I have to refill my system from where I drain it if I let it fill from the header tank I get an air lock that I cant get rid of

You ate a star thank you, I find your videos informative. Great job

bleedin radiators....

Genius - many thanks!

Brilliant.

Can anyone help me. I've got a Stannah 600 (siena) stairlift. It will go all the way up and down the straight stairs with no load but under load it does one step at at time beeping constantly. The error code says code 1 which means the batteries are knackered. Stannah UK want (are you ready for a shock....) ..... TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY POUNDS just to come and look at it. I told the guy on the phone that I wasn't in a position to just throw 260 quid away on a whim and he basically told me tough shit pay it or don't go upstairs any more.!!! I would also like to know where I get the batteries from as a search online didn't really come up with any exact matches, and I don't know what ampage I need etc etc etc, and i cant check as i don't know how to get it apart.

PVA before painting, what a nob, that is the last thing you should be using

How do you know there's no electrical or gas or water pipes behind wall

Great video. Clear and concise. Thank you. you saved me at least £200 on a repair bill.

Valves not coming off whatsoever. Stuck at 0:13

is there a name for this washer

What do they call that washer you replaced pls

What a joy to find some practical help for handy electronicians. As a hobbyist and electronic fan, I had opened the electronic controlbox and was suspecting the contacts of the relays. Having opened these, they looked like new. But then why did the boiler start just with a little knock on the box? Couldn't find the schematics. Your advice was perfect. Indeed, a check with a capacimeter, of the capacitors showed that one of the 22 uF measured only 1.5 uF. In my drawers I didn't have 63V capacitors, so I put 2 with a 35V isolation in series, but, of course with the double capacity. It all works fine now. I'm very greatful for this help. Good luck. Mike

Great vid, useful info. Cheers

A very concise guide for this operation. I found this video the most instructive I could find as I wish to drain down my central heating to replace a TRV. Thank you.

hahaha try that on stock brick.

Like the video. A lot of times people replace whole valve system meaning higher cost in parts and time. However I would not put this WC back in service without cleaning limescale from ball float and making sure it does not stick against overflow and/or siphon. It is sticking in raised position at 0.27 and with more limescale eventually could get stuck in lowered "open valve"position. A wipe down with water repellent and anti limescale agent in cistern would be a good measure.

Do you know the name of that toilet because I have the same one and I am still straying to figure out what's the name for it

I seem to be having an issue where the ballcock screw is not pushing the valve hard enough in to stop the flow of water so it trickles. Or at least that's what I reckon it is.

can anyone tell me or put a picture up what wires go to which spades on the main power switch ,ive got 1xorange 1xgrey 1xviolet 2xblack the switch is located on the rear of the motor housing

Before 1999 that's asbestos

Thanks great vid, just what I needed. I wasn't sure the TRV would fit into the same space as The old type valve, but now I see how it's done. Just one question please ? can I use the old nut on the feed pipe or do I have to remove the old one and it's olive ? cheers.... Chris.

Thanks 4 the tip.

Spot on.

or great

Bleedin grate mate cheers

Going to give it a go boys, wish me luck!!

Top bloke, many thanks

Did tom hardy make this video 😂

perfect

Bleeding radiators

Very helpful

I have a Shannan stair lift 420 my arm cable to the foot plate has gone slack so arm or foot plate working could any one help with out paying hundreds

what if there is no bleed valve?

Dabble bizzay!

Don't ever scrape Artex!!!, it can contain asbestos which causes cancer!!!

nippin up agayn

Explains about 'caps' ref thermos valves. There's whole threads (Screwfix) about trying to get caps that have been lost

Could this be a semi permanent solution? I have a radiator at a bay windows and i want to build a seat under the window. Could this be used so if i ever needed to reinstall the radiator i could? Thanks

Lol Thermolite block you can very near push your finger through it!

This would make a great drinking game. Every time he says Radiator we drink!!!

Is this something I should do myself as a non professional or hire someone to do?

If you do this and then your boiler makes bad noises, try bleading the boiler; specifically the circulating pump.

You are a money saver! Have the Potterton Profile 60eL, and was retrying to start forever and not firing up. Called insurance company who promptly washed their hands off. The quote I got for fixing was £430. Followed your video and replaced the 3 caps mentioned. Bingo! Boiler fires up first time without a struggle. Total cost including a trip to maplin £10. Many thanks indeed for your timely help. Much appreciated!

do you leave the pva to dry before you plaster
