Hi both. I bought the radiators from an online store - i don't remember where... here i think bathroombuildersuk.co.uk

Had them delivered to my home and then had my builders/plumbers fit them - there was minimal pipe work required as they were the same size - just a few new bends and that was it. Whether they dirtied the system in doing that i don't know.

Pinhole is located at the bottom near the right side - on the upper curve of the bottom rail - see pic at

Know if there is an accepted alternative to BG's ridiculous pricing?

there you go

All existing systems will have a certain amount of 'sludge' in them.

As said, this would not have caused a leak in a month, but will give the rad manufactuer an excuse not to honor any warranty though

I don't think you've been served particularly well by your installer.

Has there ever been a known visit by a BG engineer that did not suggest a power flush. Not in my house for one.

Errrm - now let me think for a couple of microseconds. NO! They're on some scheme for getting it signed up in the same way they are on commish for relacement boiler contracts. At least they were.
