I didn't realise how cheap rads were from Screwfix. I could replace every
one in the house for under 300 quid. Seems like the lack of inhibitor is

such a financial disaster after all


All you have to do is spend £10-15 on a 1 litre can and pour it in the
header tanks every 4 years. Then no probs whatsoever. Any dope can do
that, and it far less than £300 and you also have to buy rads valves too.
Buy cheap and nasty valves is false economy.


Even less than that. Inhibitor is a tenner in Wickes..£7 from Screwfix
iirc so there really is no excuse.
