The worst offender is an angled double radiator in a bay window (measures 450mm high and 240mm long). It barely gets hot despite the flow pipe...

    I'm trying to put in a new rad. But the rad sits about 10mm further from the wall than the old pipes come out of the ground. I've tried taking away a bit of tile to push the pipes back but they are locked in place. What I probably need is a copper pipe with a very small, 10mm, bend in it...
