Well you have just reminded me to do this Job before the winter!! We decided to leave it in for the summer as we had too many other things on :). I will be interested to hear how you get on though, so we can proceed with our one.
Sorry I couldn't help

thanks Plumbbob,
Will try your way of getting the air lock out and get back to you. The Rad is plumbed correctly as you can see where the pipies feed from under the previous radiator.

Will get back to you in a few days

Thanks again

Will try the bleeding again, but I agree with you, it may be an issue with the radiator itself.
Will post back with any developments

Thanks for your help

Thanks for the reply Jack. The sytem is a 'Double Pipe' system and used with a combi boiler. The Boiler was replaced last year. I agree with the possiblility of it being blocked. I have taken the radiator off once already and flushed it with a hose pipe, which it now seems to be a bit better, but th...

Hi, Me again. I tried your flow test DEEARR2 for each flow and return pipes by locking one off and bleeding with the other one open, then swapping over. Both pipes flow ok I got a good steady floe out of the bleed valve on both.. So I guess the supply pipes to the radiator is ok. While I was doing t...

Ceiling rose cables too short

Hi all,
I have bought a ceiling fan for my daughters bedroom (Don't say, wrong time of year I know)!
Anyway the cables are too short to connect to the fan, so what is the recommended course of action? Do I put a junction box up in the loft & just run a longer cable in?

Cheers

Thanks for those replies.
I have been looking at the inverter welders, the small portable ones look quite good compared to my old arc. So will look into. I think I'll get the sparky round as well to look at the ELI as it sound like its worth sorting.

Thanks for your help guys
