which system do you have for hw supply?

 

[dipper_g]

just a normal boiler

Depends on what type of system set up you have. If its a convention system then your 3 port could be passing slightly and warming up the first rad in the run.

boiler feeds both hot and central heating throw two two way valves

Prob the heating two valve is passing. When did you notice the problem

 

[dipper_g]

when i turned the heating off and just left the hot water on

Depends what make/model of valve it is....

sounds like ur diverter valve could be sticking or not fully switching over

is it just one rad or all of em???

if its one, and its in the bathroom then its not a problem/fault its just how its piped up.
