    hi all bit of a problem i need help with!!
    Problem:when i turn my stat on kitchen wall to zero i would usually just have my hot water in cylinder heating and no rads would come on but all downstairs rads heating and water aswell!!
    i have the stat on zero upstairs as it very warm and that is working fine.

    motorised valve seems like its goosed, they give alot of problems anyway, id only ever use honeywell motorised valves, take the head of the valve and turn with a a pilers, and you should never turn your stats up and down, they should be set to a certain temp
