    Never mind all that. I have a satelite dish, big FO flat screen tv with DVD recorder, multi system satellite tuner and all the testicles, with a 1 terabyte memory stack and about 900 channels.

    However,the little brown bint insists on watching Thai tv soaps (with some cracking looking pu er wimmin) incessantly. My question is this:

    How do I set the channel changer to stun, so I can watch my choice of tv without argument.

    Bastard, Why did I read this tread? Got the guy in to service the combi-boiler due to losing water pressure in the boiler, price quoted £50 cost £120 a valve had to be replaced. Turned on the heating, no pressure at all. Rang service guy his reply "Nothing to do with me, you need a plumber".. Contacted plumber explained what had happened, he spoke to service guy. Result fork out another £170 because the expansion tank had a leak, new tank installed which bypassed the old one. Anymore useful tips, keep them to yourself.

    You switch on the 'Flux capacitor'!!
    If you are able,
    save them a place
    inside of you
    and save one backward glance
    when you are leaving
    for the places they can
    no longer go.
    Be not ashamed to say
    you loved them,
    though you may
    or may not have always.
    Take what they have left
    and what they have taught you
    with their dying
    and keep it with your own.
    And in that time
    when men decide and feel safe
    to call the war insane,
    take one moment to embrace
    those gentle heroes
    you left behind.

    1) Put the remote control in a plastic carrier bag.

    2)) Put a brick in the carrier bag.

    3) Hit brown bint around the head with carrier bag.

    4)Buy a new remote.

    5) Watch TV of choice.

    Ark Angel, beware of the Royal Mint Police as they may be pedantic with your reproduction of tender. In their eyes that's a moody tenner!

    thanks for your responce. I test the plungers and they all go down. I have removed the top parts to see if that has made any diference. as of yet still cold. the pipe before the rad is cold too.

    The other possibility is an airlock. If it is this, you could try turning all the other radiators off, then keep the failing one turned on, and the room thermostat turned up to keep the pump on. Run it this way for a couple of hours if you can.

    Is it a pressurised system you have, i.e is there a filling loop? If so is your water pressure set at around 1 bar when the system is cold? If not re-pressurise the system with the filling loop.

    Offog, try shutting off all the downstairs heaters, and see if the upstairs ones behave.
