Sep 2011 at 21:40 I would get it all stripped to the thermostat but not remove it. Block off the water pipes, then put the water system under pressure you will be sure then where your leak is

Yes mate

either bolts in the end then clamp them, or a couple of pieces of flat clamping the ends works too. Pressurise up to about 10lb then watch out for the leak... Thumbs Up!

Thats what I would do anyway Wink
