All my research and experience (limited is an over statement here) would lend me to believe that you either have a 'sticky' valve as I did, which I released by pushing the pin located in the centre of the valve (gently) in and releasing it a couple of times or you have some other blockage...

Thank you Oilman, you are a star!!!! I took off the TRV, there is a little pin which obviously gets pushed in or released by the TRV (previously known as a Westerm, sound like an expert now eh :lol: ) as you control the radiator temperature, it was stuck. Pushed it in (gently) a couple of times...

I have answered my own question, the "pins" appear to be locking pins to restrict valve movement and hence temperature, oh well back to getting the cover off!!. I am assuming now that the way to get the plastic cover off is not the way to do it. I think i have to remove the whole Westherm...

Question. The thermostatic valve (Westherm) has two plastic "pins" could these pins - I recall in the past they were pulled out, could they be the problem, and the valve is now not opening because they are not correctly in place? I suppose the question is what do these "pins" do? They look...

I am trying to get the cover off, it is a Westherm, no joy will let you know if I succeed, thanks for the response
