In my bedroom is the rad. Usually it is off, but for a couple of days now I turned it on for a bit to warm the room up.
I removed the top thermostat section and there was a build up of water where the pin sits.
I have pushed the pin in and out to see if it is muck, but no change.
The TRV is from Screwix about 5 years ago.
Apart from changing the valve is there a way?

Try tightening the brass coloured nut just below the pin. If this is already tight, and/or the TRV keeps leaking, then the gland under the pin has gone. Replacement of the TRV is the only answer.
