I did this too when I fitted my new rad. Did the old valve come out cleanly?
Tis a pain having to drain the whole system down and waste the half bot of stuff just for this, isn't it?
I'd do exactly as you say, i.e. put tons more ptfe tape on and wind it in Ffing tight as well!
I hope I'm not teaching granny to suck eggs when I say, "Make sure you wind it round in the right direction"
Best of luck, and this time test it before you stick the additive in, maybe?

Edit: as usual, should have read to the end of the thread.
Still it would have been rude not to respond, and yes Bosswhite is the stuff we all mean!
Nevva fear it has come here now, with a vengeance!
Far be it from me to defend T Blair, but having been in the education game for 34 years, I don't think that the idea of going to uni for all was all his idea.
As soon as Maggie decided it was a good idea to pit school against school and university against university, the whole shooting match went down hill.
And no, I can tell you that kids don't think they are going to p!ss £9k up the wall "knowing full well they will never be able to pay it back."
You'll forgive me I hope, but I have actually written books on helping kids from rough backgrounds get into top unis, which contain sections on whether it is even a good idea to go there, and financing it etc etc.
One for the students and one for the teachers.
I'm not saying that what you describe doesn't happen, it does, but again consider how many businesses are graduate entry only?
Do also have a dottir who is head of department in a uni, so see if from both ends.
Mind where you put your screwdriver today.Morning all tis nice n cool in doors, tis to be a scorcher suns oot already.
Have a good start to the week.
"Ffing warm"
Wifey in bed suffering with her tum as she does sometimes, so I'll be out "gardening" again in the feckin heat soon as now it is dry the "grass" can be whacked.
Sorry to hear your not feeling great but if it is any consolation I am not enjoying being roasted alive! I took a leaf out of your book this morning and our dog walk was done at 5am - absolute bliss, alas it was not to last as the sun was eager to get out of bed and do its worst and by 9am the roasting began.
Fahrenheit, minus 32, multiply by 5 and divide by nine. So 30.5C.
. Taught to me at skool in 1965, thats the first time ever I've used it .
...that I have been to see the nice folks at the gym.
We are agreed that I am 9 months ahead on payments vs. services.
I am taking 1 or 2 months off and stopping the clock and then we will restart at a gentler pace.
I will rest and when I return I will use up my pre-paid 9 months before restarting my payments.
Works for me and they are happy too.

Been putting gloss paint on the noo garage fascia boards this morning. Flies - and especially thunder flies - have decided its a good place to go paddling .

They either sand off or coat-over.Been putting gloss paint on the noo garage fascia boards this morning. Flies - and especially thunder flies - have decided its a good place to go paddling
Nah, just wipe over with a damp cloth once the paint has cured. Any road up, they will be hidden by a fence when they are installed so not bothered.They either sand off or coat-over.
Good result!...that I have been to see the nice folks at the gym.

Well it is feckin hot here today.
Just come in from whacking the weeds with the wheeled weedwhacker/mulcher. Altho it's motorised you still have to opull it around a lot and back as well as sideways. So skin leakin muchly.
Started late as Wifey is unwell with cold and bad tum. She did a Civd test today as the symptoms you get if you are double vacced are a bit similar to what she has. Anyway, came out negative. TG!
Will give it another coupla hours before going out and doing a bit more. also helps with preventing "White finger" or whatever it's called!

32 degrees C in the shade at our place, and obvs I've been workin in the sun.
Wot a pain!
Wot a pain!
Arghhhhhh....
EVERY morning I get up first and leave her sleeping.
EVERY morning she yanks on the roller-blind chain like she is hauling up a frigging anchor and then pulls even harder when the weighted bottom of the blind hits the window catches and snags there, because clearly lifting the thing clear of the window catches is unnecessary and more force/speed is all that is required.
Today she reports that the blind will not raise fully (like its my fault).
No, because its been yanked on so hard so many times the little balls on the string have jumped a position or two over time until finally the joiner on the chain is trying to enter the mechanism before the blind is fully raised..
FFS! Guess who has to dismantle, remount re-synch the darned thing? The Capstan hauling bint or the skipper?

Could you quietly pull it up then tiptoe out of a morning?Arghhhhhh....

Just tell her from now on that you will leave a handful of coins in an item of clothing each time she, or you, puts a load on. In time one of them will jam the drum.Arghhhhhh....

Same difference, nearly.
