In case it's useful, I wasn't able to fully turn off my Comap thermostatic valve either. I realised if you turn it to full on, the min and max pins can be pulled down and drop out. With the pins out you can turn it all the way down to the blue zero and turn the radiator off. (I've got the same...

I bought a pack of sainsburys tile spacers in a tube (600 x 3mm) last year, finally got round to doing some bathroom tiling with them and now they're discontinued - sainsburys can't find any in any stores. The annoying thing is I turned them horizontal to get a thinner mortar gap then pulled...
