    OH complained about hot water for bath not being hot enough while rest of system worked fine. Turned out with a combi boiler if you have a large bath feeder then you need to turn down the flow to get the water hot hot. One thing we tried, turn on hot water tap at basin and allow to run until really hot then turn it off and turn on bath feeder.

    I am finding this with the cold weather outside. Warm shower when its on full, reduce the water flow and its hot, same issue down stairs in the kitchen. Radiators are worlking fine.
    I am thinking insulating the pipes may help.
