Hi, I had a plumber in for another job the other day but asked him about some rads I had in our bedrooms. I managed to shear off the middle bit of my radiator bleed valve yesterday, just by turning it with a key. Getting new rad is last resort as we are looking to move after xmas and dont want to spend on that kind of thing unless we have to. The other one has a screw in the top, assume remove the screw, plastic cap and use bleed key on the valve clockwise? The rads where there was nothing coming out of the bleed screw were a case of blocked bleed valves, mini screwdriver poked in solved that.

Getting the sludge out of that is a good few hours' work; fixing this valve would be a minor addition to the effort. If its like that anyway its prolly time to consider replacing the rad with a modern efficient one anyway.
