hello and help!
Its sunday, so plumber would cost me the earth... just found the radiator in the hall split and water gushing out of a pin hole.
Tried to isolate the radiator buy turning off both valves clockwise but one wont budge and the other one's plastic covering will not move either.
I've found the c/h header tank tap and have turned that off. (will that stop any fresh water filling up the system?)
Should i try to rip off the plastic cover on the right of the radiator to see if i can turn the valve or should i just wait it out for the system to drain and then sort it out in the week with a recommended plumber type?!?
any info / help / advice would be welcome, was hoping to spend sunday in the pub not filling up buckets!
