By cap you mean thermostat head with numbers on and not a plastic cap that looks like a bottle top? You could replace the thermostat head (the majority are universal) but you can't buy the head without the whole valve.

yes the thermostat head. I'll leave it off while it's cold..... I do have a rad in a conservatory which I leave on full, will try changing them over & see if that works
Thanks for all you're help.....

Tony, if you check the op's profile and look at his album, he's talking about a TRV

New to the site myself, cheers for the info. And as someone said, swapping heads with another rad is a good shout. You'll then know if it needs a new trv. If You aren't capable of changing the trv, I'd take the thermostat head to a merchant and and buy a thermostat of the same thread and just fit the new head.

just thought I'd update you, the head in the conservatory was unfortunately a different connection, bought a new one for the bargain price of a fiver and now have a fully functional radiator..... who needs to pay out for an expensive plumber
Thanks everyone for their help

the only shame is that no-one stocks the head on it's own, didn't need the pipe, but suppose i now have a spare, just in case
