I've got a small leak from what looks like a Lusso radiator valve. See attached pic. I want to take the cap off to fix it but can't find instructions on how to get to the spigot/gland/nut

Does it pull off/wind all the way out/or have an end cap that should be prised off?

Thanks for all advice.

Chris

1. The thin chrome disc on the outside end of the main chrome knob unscrews.
2. The inside of it has a short length of thread attached to it.
3. However, in my experience as soon as you undo the end disc, the thread snaps off.
4. Easy fix if you've got a lathe, otherwise a new valve.
