Thanks.It's weeping from the bottom....Will this mean i have to drain the system down and fit a new valve?Which bit is leaking, the bottom piece with the plastic pipe, the compression fitting on the left or the tail into the radiator?
If the leak is where the pipe goes into the bottom of the valve, then yes you would. Are you certain it isn't leaking from under the white cap ,and finding its way down , misleading you ?It's weeping from the bottom....Will this mean i have to drain the system down and fit a new valve?
Hiya...I've taken the white top off....its definitely leaking from the bottom....stops leaking when I turn the heating on.If the leak is where the pipe goes into the bottom of the valve, then yes you would.

Hiya....The valve that is leaking has a copper pipe going into the valve....Not necessarily a new valve if it's the pipe straining going in or missing a pipe insert
Sorry, just looks like plastic with the name of the thread too . As per others make sure it's fully inserted and if you drain down and replace make sure the pipe is clean from any paint etcHiya....The valve that is leaking has a copper pipe going into the valve....
Its copper pipe , apparently.I can't tell from the pic, but if the pipe is plastic, then it's a 3 min repair.
Close valve opposite leaking valve.
Put squeeze off tool on offending pipe, remove leaking valve, and replace with new.
Job done.
