Please fit the valves the correct way round, should be arrows on the sides.
Not sure on your water system, but you have to isolate water from the inlet side if the stopcock to change the stopcock.
I'm not sure what that will involve in your situation, but it would be worth investigating.
I know how to isolate the outside mains going to my stopcock, I’ve had the internal part of stopcock removed before to replace washer. Was just wondering with the water stopped is it relatively easy for a confident DIY’r to change the full stopcock? Thanks
Judging by what you've managed to do so far, I'm confident you'll be fine for what that's worth. As long as your mains can be properly isolated from outside your property, which you state you can and already have done the worst that can happen is a weep (provided you are keeping the original nuts and olives in place) and you could either remedy that yourself with our advice if it comes to that or at "worst" have to call a plumber whilst leaving your water turned off.

replace there and then. Working in kitchens units is a pig, get in get done get outRemove the check valve and hammer the internals out of it then refit. This will help eliminate the valve as your problem and can be properly replaced at a later date.
Nice job, yes it's normal to have discoloured water for a bit after a drain down.
Well done bud not hard this plumbing lark is it normal to have discoloration for a while run taps till clear and jobs done . Cheers kop
