Forgot to say thanks for this, as I turned it until the point where it's 'off', but I haven't had to turn the heating on for the last 2 weeks so I hadn't fully tested it :)

Thanks for that. I bought one today, as I didn't have one before, and I've turned it either 2.5 or 3 times, I forget now, and it still comes on but isn't as hot as the radiator in the next room. Common sense would dictate that a few more turns would close it completely, but I thought I'd best...

Okay, I've removed the cap, which was very easy was a screwdriver, and I can see from the inside of it that it was meant to move and twist round the cog-wheel-looking things that can be seen. I tried turning the bit at the top which I presumed is what is meant to make the radiator's heat turn...

petit_pablo - Cheers, I'll give it a go. :D tincup - It's the capped-off end. I remember my builder once having to drain it from that end when they had to take the radiator off to paint behind it.

I've got a plastic cap that's stuck fast and which doesn't have a screw on the top with which I can turn it. I say it's stuck fast, but there's some movement give and take but nothing that actually alters the temperature. It's in a room which I rarely use but I've just started to put a piece...

After a google for how to do this, I only found answers telling me there was clips either side of the silver rim (which there aren't on this one) or that it can twist off anti-clockwise (but it didn't look like it wanted to give at all and I feel if I push it, it'll just break). I can't see...

The only 'tap' I have is the actual connections for the filling loop to hook onto the boiler. No worries on the expert front. I know little more than what I've posted in this thread :)

Hi, yep. If it helps, my filling loop looks like the one on the right-hand picture but I still don't know what to turn on the boiler to make the water exchange happen. I'm sure it was just one of the two things I mentioned as opposed to both. I forgot to mention that I managed to turn...

I've checked the FAQ but one thing about this is eluding me about the problem I have with my Sime Friendly Format 80E water boiler. The pressure's dropped to about 0.3-0.5 instead of the 1.0 it usually hovers around. I have a filling loop to top it up, so was going to try that before...
