I'd like to change the 3 way valve on the central heating as the radiators 
are getting hot
when just the hot water is selected on my gas boiler. (Valve sezied I'm sure 
of that)

I've been told I'm not allowed to do it because I'm not corgi registered ?

B****ks was my response, surely its plumbing [1] and a bit of electrics, I'm 
not touching the gas side of things
anyone like to differ ?

[1] drain system, swap valve, refill system inc inhibitor, wire valve.

Of course you can do this type of job on the job, but don't touch the gas
pipes.  Make sure the gas is off.  Make sure the electrics are off.  Just so
you don't get something coming on when it shouldn't.

Do this type of job on the job?  What was I thinking? :-)  I did mean "Do
this type of job on the water pipes" of course.

More the hurry the less the speed.  LOL

Have a look at

http://www.makewrite.demon.co.uk/GasFitting.html

the link is from

http://www.diyfaq.org.uk/contents.html

You may be surprised to know that you may (depending upon your DIY skills) 
be allowed to fit the gas side of things without being CORGI registered.
