Hi,
Ive removed my radiator, and the nuts were really tight and although i did use two wrenches to try not to damage the olive, it seems like i have anyway.
the whole thermostat valve now spins on the copper pipe, when i turned the heating on there is a fast-ish leak from the radiator connecting end of the valve and a very slow one on the copper pipe under the connection, the boiler has no water in it now I assume this is connected as when i turned the heating off i could hear the pipe sucking air in.
Can i repair it or is it time to admit defeat?
