Hi
If i put the ch on the rads come on hot after about 1 -2 hours if i put the hw on at the same time the rads upstairs get hot about 1-2 and the rads down stairs stay very cold all day untill i turn the hw off. if i run a bath all the rads go cold very quick. i had a new 3 way fitted last year i can move the lever side to side and nothing some times i hear the motor and the lever move a little bit then next time it will move to the end. The boiler goes up to 82 and cuts out for 3 mins and drops down to 52 the fires up again. what is 52?? is it the temp in the water tank????. I don't want to spend £80 on a new 3 way if anybody can help or tell me have to try something else before i go and spend the money. ps i took the top off the 3 way the motor turns when i turn the ch and hw on and off the white plastic thing is the middle moves and 2mm but not all the time.

Please help my wife is doing my head
pps and i changed the pump about 3 months ago as the old one was very noisy
