[mrdiy]

Is the thermostat broken on the hot water radiator as it is cold completely in the bathroom the pipes going in are cold. how do I replace it ? its position is top left one nut connection. if I undue the nut will water come out or is it in a casing inside the radiator.

Have you tried bleeding the air out of it first?

It is also possible that the Thermostatic Radiator Valve (TRV) has seized in the "off" position during the summer. Do a "search" for "TRV" you will find it's not unusual.
