Thanks another good one 🙂
Super helpful thanks!
Excellent
Be good to see close up
Thank you, mate. Very helpful
I really enjoy these videos from you mate. Thank you very much its a great help
Made me look like a genius in front of my dad 😂 thank you sir!
Thanks for the advice, just to mention for the nervous, the system does not need draining for this fix.
Im trying to open the nut it wont open stuck any idea's how to open
That screw looked loose. You took it off without putting any pressure on.
90 year old parents. Christmas Eve. Job done. You are an absolute legend, mate. Thank you!
I can’t undo the nut on my radiator. Also looks slightly different. Don’t want to force it and cause more of a problem.
So do I need to drain the radiator to do this? And the valve should be locked to off (clockwise) right?
So don't need to drain the system before
Many thank's Al, this has worked .
Panic over!! , best wishes David
just fixed all leaks, great video!
Thank you
great vid thank you – one tip for punters. Unlike this video when I unlocked the nut my open/close valve also undid!! water going everywhere!! In order to reinsert this valve and stop the water flow note it has a left hand thread ie screw it in anti clockwse. All was well after this
Could this be the reason radiator isn’t coming on? Noticed this same leak when turning boiler on but the radiator leaking isn’t heating up
Thank you so much for the helpful video!! It worked like magic and I'm so grateful to you as everyone else would be when their rad starts to leak at midnight. Wonderful work you do, this is real help, thank you again.
