I had to do this a couple of months ago, i just untightened the valves from the pipes and took off the rad with the valves still on. And put compression caps on, whilst using the same olive ad nut. This is more work but i dint want to break the seal between the valve and the rad bcos it was so old.

pipes not being clipped correctly maybe? But turning down the stoptap may reduce the pressure, which may work due to problem being too much pressure?

i suppose you could but in my opinin, you wouldnt get very good performance from them bcos ther'll b two rads running from same pipework. It would b farely easy jst to extend the pipework.

if the trap is fitted correctly then there should be any smells at all. The trap maybe losing it's seal due to certain aspects. try and fill your shower tray and then release. The seal mayb either 25 mm or 75 mm, if its connected to the soil pipe which u say it isnt, then it wont need to be 75. Howe...

yes definetely lag ur pipework. The regs state that it must be 1m away from the cylinder, however as long as its more than that then its ok so lag all pipes within the cupboard.
