They'll tell you to turn the pressure down by partially closing the stoptap,
which is what you should have done before buying a regulator.

Turning the stop tap down does not reduce the static pressure - sure it
will reduce the flow and consequentially the running pressure, but as
soon as you stop demand, even with the stop cock reduced to a minute pin
hole, the standing pressure is exactly the same as the main line pressure
- I would have thought it to be obvious to an expert


But you dont have to be an expert to spot that youre responding to 9
year old post. I think the problem may well have been resolved by now.
