Refitting rad to wall after the owner said magically just fell off one night. I Right. More like they were sitting on it. The micro bore is badly kinked on the flow and return so will have to alter it. am I right in saying easiest thing to do is to cut behind kink which leaves me with few inches of pipe to play with then add increaser of compression type to 15mm and attach new valves, or can u somehow keep it at 8mm.

Any advice would be good

You can buy 3m coils of microbore, just cut it back to a sensible place then soldered or comp coupling and you're away :wink:
