you have said you dont know what you are doing earlier, for gods sake, call in a professional, its their work they know what are doing and things may work properly again. diy can only go so far and from what i have read you are way down a one way sreet the wrong way

I concur - if you dont know the right pipes then . . .

It does sound that the motorised valve is defective, but it could cost £60+ to put a new one in and you may make something else go wrong if you dont do it correctly.

Besides you can come unstuck when you start out on a monoblock tap - man heating systems are damn complicated and you better know what you are doing.

I have seen systems that have made me think twice, and I knwo what i am doing!!

Mind here is a very good book for those of you who want to know some more about this subject.

Remember though - a little knowlage does a lot of harm . . . .
