The situation: Having recently found a leak in a micro-bore pipe, thanks to a plasterboard screw going right through it. I decided to fully drain the system during the repair and fill with a system cleaner to run for a few days and then drain and refill with inhibitor. The initial problem: Upon...

Hi there, I've a radiator with very little access on the left, and no access on the right - someone built a giant bookcase round it. It needs bleeding The left would be easier to create access to (narrower bookcase upright, and some space already) Left side radiator1 by StephenStephen posted...
