Well done. It is a great source of satisfaction to be able to sort out such problems.
Keep a note of what you have done and maybe sometime in the future you will need a plumber and you can ask him to give your work a quick look over. You can't beat experience when sorting out problems like this (having to replace 2 valves in a relatively short time).

I am also amazed that so many don't want to do jobs that I pass on to them. I am not a qualified plumber, but I understand how it all works. (I think that to be good at my job, that I need to have a good understanding of the whole system) Because of my lack of paper qualifications, I mostly steer clear of doing plumbing work, but sometimes (rarely) I do such work; after explaining my credentials to the customer. I am unsure if my oil burner service/installation/repair insurance would cover me in such instances. Probably not, and I explain that to the rare customer that I do such work for.

Hi Wearb thanks for all the help . This is a pic of the pipes around my boiler and I was always wondering how they worked. The one on right is for heating upstairs and one on left is heat to rads downstairs. Its one in middle and why its branched at bottom is puzzling me, and why the two pipes are joined at top of pic. If you cant make it out not to worry.
Thanks Again
