Hi,
Abbott are advertising a replacement for the APC valve (you know, the little valve on top of the rad, that's always going wrong and costs a fortune to replace!). Has anyone tried one of these? At £30, it sounds like a bargain, but what about doing away with the APC, is that dodgy, or am I being paranoid?
Pete.

Yeah, know that well. Likewise I'd be keen to know anyone who has the manual device fitted.
