It's Hot!

[Anne (fuzzy)]

Not very warm at all here today and it absolutely bucketed down this morning. Going to get colder next week as an easterly wind picks up. Great. No happy medium with the British weather.

Very true Anne........I only moved back here 3 years ago after 25 years away & the weather still baffles me.................Doris Stokes was the only happy medium I knew, although she did have her down moments too................... #icon_rofl#

with a pair of grips you can slacken the knurled ring holding the trv in place , this will allow you to remove trv and therefore allow full flow of HOT water through your radiator. I would also advise unless you are already comitted to pop into your local plumb center and get a trv yourself rather than pay someone to fit it , it's a really easy job.

If you can get your head around vaping you can easily change a trv

I've had to put the heating back on this afternoon it's so cold.

Wimps, we had no heating since Feb other than the fire in the lounge , still hoping to have saved enough to buy a new system before next winter sets in tho

We rent, and we have a service agreement

If we try to fix it ourselves and make an ar@e of it, could cause problems

Ho hum , never mind , you could still try to loosen off the trv till you get it replaced I won't tell if you don't

Not exactly true, when you undo the knurled nut holding the trv head onto the base, it allows the pin to pop up, if not stuck thus allowing full flow, however the pins can stick down in the closed position, all you have to do is take off the plastic head easy and no damadge will occur, honest karma, thwn push down on the pin to see if it moves up and down, it only moves about 7-8mm if that, if it's not moving then with a pair of pliers gently pull it up to free it off, yes you can pull it out completely, but you don't want to do that, failing that lubricate it and give it a pull

Ha ha very funny!

There was an old dear where I worked who claimed to be a medium. She looked large to me, but never mind.

One evening she said to me " I can't remember if I've had my pills or not today."
I told her to use her psychic powers and she hit me with her magazine.

Could have been worse Anne, you could have told her to read her magazine and she hit you with her psychic powers
