Default trv misbehaving

Hi everyone
I have fitted a new trv (Yorkshire Fittings Mistral Bi-directional with
Tectite push connection 10mm and M31 head) in the conservatory radiator
(B&Q 4-column designer job). However I'm having problems as the trv
always cuts off far too early regardless of the setting and I have to
keep increasing the setting up to max at which point I disconnect the
head and let the valve open fully. This more than adequately heats the
room - great in the cold snaps but not so clever now! They also give
you a little plastic manual adjuster cap which you can tweak to open or
close the valve - again not ideal (and only for packing really).
I've emailed the company but no answer
Has anyone else come up against this one and any ideas as to a
solution? BTW the lockshield is about half open at the mo but I
started with it fully open - no real difference either way. Any
comments much appreciated!
