For future reference, it is a good idea to note the position of each
lockshield valve (by counting the number of turns required to close
it) when turning it off. Then you can restore it to more or less the
same position.

Already there. "3. Record initial LSV positions in case you want to
return the system to what it was."

I suspect that, even then, a further bit of fine tuning would be
required.

When performing the balancing operation, it helps *enormously* to
have a non-contact IR thermometer (costing about 30 quid) - which
enables you to zoom round all the rads and to record the flow and
return temperature of each very quickly. This makes the iterative
process (of progressively restricting the flow to the rads with the
lowest temperature drop) much faster than it would otherwise be.

Quite so. In fact I added the following to that part of the Balancing
FAQ a few weeks ago :-)

Sorry for re-inventing the wheel! I must admit that I didn't read the
updated FAQ before posting.

I tend to assume anyway that people (if they're like me!) will often read
in-line text before (and maybe in preference to) following up external
links.
