Thank you Mike, this is what we feel. As well as their billing us over £180, their blaming us for a gas leak means they don't have to pay us a £100 incentive. We have a friend who can testify there was no smell of gas on 21st August, 24 hours after we vacated the property. What we...

Hi, I'm hoping someone might be able to answer this question. We recently moved out of a housing association property and have just been informed that (although there had been no smell of gas 24 hours after we moved out on 20th August and we are sure we didn't knock anything) we are to be...

I'm very happy to tell you that Idealman's tip of leaving WD-40 on the pin then pulling it up and down with pliers worked :) It didn't at first, but when I went back later to bash it with a hammer (what the heck, we'dbooked a plumber to replace the valve), the pin sprang back up again after I...

btw, thanks for tip about not pulling pin up. Have stopped doing that now. Hope I didn't break it when I did pull it up...

hmmm, hitting the pin repeatedly with a soup spoon cupped in palm and then with a hammer hasn't freed it. Does this mean the rad'd need a new valve to work? Am thinking of getting a plug in oil filled radiator or convector heater instead...

Thank you, Pete. I'm sorry to be so ignorant (!) but could you please tell me: 1) What is the lockshield? 2) How can I make sure it's fully open? 3) Is there anything I can do if the pin still won't bounce fully up after it's been fully opened?

pin doesn't pop up on its own even after tapping the valve smartly several times with an adjustable hammer. any ideas?

i removed the head by easing down a metal ring around its base (you can see this in 1st pic). the revealed pin was only sticking up a few mm (pic 2). i lifted it further with pliers (pic 3). Unfortunately both the rad and pipe have remained cold after putting the heating back on. should i...

will try suggestion of removing trv head 1st - any tips please how to do this? the make is Myson. many thanks for help on this :)

so the valve with the big white dial/cap on it is the trv? the pipe leading to this is also cold

this third pic might be a bit clearer

shall retry posting pic - think it has a trv after checking wiki...

we've just moved into a house and found that the radiators work in all rooms but the bedroom. have tried bleeding it, but it's full of water. not sure what else to try. the pipe running into it remains cold to touch whenthe heating's on. any tips or tricks would be gratefully received. have...
