I have just noticed that there is a leak on the lockshield drain off valve where you drain the radiator and i was wondering how i would fix this as i have undone the square shaft to see if any dirt came out but it didn't so i tightened the shaft back up and it's still leaking.

There's a small rubber washer on the end of that square shaft mate - it needs replacing.

They aren't a common tap washer size, so go to Plumbcenter or similar.
There has been the odd occasion where I've bought the complete drain cock, when all I've needed has been the rubber washer
I think the diameter is about 3/8ths of an inch, plain rubber.
