    Badly vibrating pipes

    The radiator valve that you turned down which stopped the vibrating will need replacing,im guessing its a Trv type with the 0 to 5 setting on?They do get problems occasionally but it is rare in my experiance.

    Is this radiator thermostat broken?

    Valve head should not wobble when tightened,so yes it needs replacing.you could buy the same trv and save doing any actual plumbing work.Most trvs come with a decorators cap which you fit when removing radiator to stop trv accidentally opening.
