Hi there,

A few of my radiators have a greeny/blue sort of mark around the bleed valve and a couple have a few small rust patches and the paint has come off them.

So I need to replace the radiators or will they be alright?

Thanks

Outer rust just needs cleaning off and repainting, the marks around the bleed valve might be an indication that they are or have been letting a little water out. Try cleaning them and see if it returns.
