Automatic air vent problem

[rpm]

Underneath the body of the valve I think I see White ptfe tape and the lower part of the body seems to have scratch marks on it.
Use the water pump pliars there where the marks are.

Forgot to say WD40 might help here - sorry.

Yes to using grips on the lower part of main body.
I use Footprints grips and won’t matter if they chew the brass up a bit as going to be replaced

No, you are closer.
I would love to see Norfolk actually as my uncle used to live there.
Lovely area apparently.
It is combi oil boilers I wouldn’t fancy working on.

Now you`re being fussy! I`m sure she would meet you at Norwich International airport.

Has Norwich got an International Airport??
I thought it was all just farm land, narrow roads and country yokels over there?

I suppose I better disappear for a while.

Best you don`t apply for Cultural minister for EA then! and don`t ask for a free holiday on my boat on the broads either.

The problem is not the diverter cartridge. If it was you would get heat to rads all the time even on water only.

Probably more of an electrical problem clock or circuit board.

As for the air vent then it's grips on the body and off it will come. Make sure you've had your weetabix.

RPM thanks for reply yes as you’ve mentioned there is nothing obvious to put grips on apart from top rim. Will try bit more.

A stillson would be better than grips or rack plier, IMO. And it looks a bit big for Mole grips.
