How To Balance Radiators & the Role of the Lockshield Valve: A Homeowner's Guide
At long last , I found a decent plumber and boiler expert locally to take the buffer out of the system(his advice) and change the piping the short distance that I had from the buffer from 22 to 28mm . Also down to one pump on the flow side directly into the CH and returning to HP . DHW remains as it was . A week into the modified system running and seems to be fine , there has been some frosty nights and cold airstream throughout the last two weeks, and that’s reflected with the heating on in the evening . I have brought the water law back to 38c from 40 , OK so far . Is Homely beneficial at this time of year?

Really delighted to hear that. I can't comment on homely but if you don't have it then you will likely want to readjust your weather compensation curve having removed the buffer. At this time of year it's probably nigh on impossible to get it right, most likely you will need to wait until the new heating season to get to final values. If you need any help please just ask!

Good luck, I hope it all works out!
