I have a five year old tall modern radiator which is corroding. The other identical radiators are all fine however. What causes this? Is it bimetallic corrosion and what would be my best option. It’s not leaking yet so I would like to fix this instead of paying £££ for a new rad.

Cheers
Andy

Probably caused by a leaking tail into the rad or a slight leak from the top air bleed / blank ,only surface rust sand off and patch up.
