Hello. I just want to make sure I'm doing things right so I want to ask. How can I remove a radiator without stopping the system? In the right hand side there is a valve with plastic cover connected with wire to a Trv valve. The wheel valve and trv are off and the radiator is cold but I touched the pipe next to the Trv and I felt movement of water. So how can I stop it to remove the radiator?
Thank you.

Ideally you'd remove the TRV head and fit a "decorators cap", which holds the valve closed.
Assuming that you don't have one, make sure that the TRV's minimum setting is really off, not a "frost" position, I.e. 0 not *, and be wary of leaving it unattended for long periods - a friend flooded his house in similar circumstances!
The vibrations you can feel might be coming from some distance away, so I'd cautiously unscrew the valves, drain the radiator and see what happens. If the radiator is cold you'll probably be OK.
