What like a sheep brand you mean? Er, no thanks I`ll pass on that !!!!
I am an engineer you know, got papers to prove it and my dad showed me the difference between an adjustable, open ended and ring spanner when I was 10 or 11 and he showed me the correct way of winding ptfe tape around a barrel nipple so do I qualify now ?
I think I will wait until the OP gets his problem solved before I comment further.
Valves red hot. Radiators cool. Trv stuck. Hit it harder. You will see immediate result, unless not hitting it hard enough. Hit it harder.
No zone valves in the system and certain the HIVE system is calling for heat as thermostat set well above room temps in my tests (as I type I wonder if the boiler is reaching the set water temp (70 odd degrees) and cutting out - but again, doesnt explain why his brothers radiator 8ft away in another bedroom shoots up to 65 degrees in no time yet problem rad is still 50 degrees after a couple of hours normally - so I do think the system is calling for heat constantly
Can I just ask one more favour - Im seeing 1.25 bar pressure rise from cold to hot and have a cold pressure of 1bar, hot goes just over 2bar after 3 1/2 hours tonight. Does this indicate I should check/re-pressurise the expansion vessel or is +1bar from heating acceptable? The vokera 35h EV should be at 1bar.
If I test the EV, I understand the system should be drained of water (so diaphragm has air on both sides) is this correct?
Just trying to get as many jobs done at one time if the system does need draining of all water (not sure if it does for these two jobs -TRV replacement and EV checking).
You are supposed to get the expansion vessel air charge checked minimum once a year when boiler is serviced.
Remember you can't open the gas boiler or work on it unless you are gas qualified.
Separate expansion vessel is a different story.
The gas guys are lazy best its only us oilies that check the ev on a service
Tell me about it! :smile: I am overworked sometimes on oil. I wish all I had to do is service or replace them wee easy gas boilers.
The gas stuff may a bit technical.:Angel_anim:

I would love to see you sorting an oil twin vapour burner rayburn nouvelle in less than 3 hours on a standard service, or 3 days if you've not got a manual
I've had a look on other forums, and it's quite simple.
Going to kick out theem with a mallet when I get back from work tonight
Stand to be corrected here but, using a rubber or even a hide mallet wont have the effect of "Shocking" the pin free, needs to be something metallic.
I use a. Icily waited adjustable, a short sharp tap.
investigate blockage in pipework between brothers radiator and 3rd olds (all of 8 ft!)
Remove affected rad and fit length of copper between valves, see what temp you get on the pipe
If flow pipe, temp copper pipe and return all get to same hot temp, then rad is the problem
If no better, points to a restriction in flow/return pipe

That only proves a rad is faulty if there had been no heat at valves or rad previously.
If the flow pipe to rad valve had been always roasting, then by doing your method all you are doing is extending the pipe without the rad being there to absorb the heat. So your temporary pipe will heat, but will prove nothing if there is a partial blockage in the flow or return pipes
Didn't realise the flow had plenty of heat or that the lockshield was fully open
I will write 100 lines
"I must read every post, before replying"
I was under the impression that rad wasn't getting hot quick enough, so suggested the link pipe to see if heat got there quicker
It can still be a partially blocked pipe with a red hot flow.
