Total amateur giving it a go ..
We are trying to replace our radiator and came up against an issue. The tail piece in the original rad is jammed in and won't budge.

We have bought new rad with a 15mm tail however it seems the pipe into the lockshield valve is 3/4 inch. Does such a thing exist? Anymore ?? If so where do i get them?? Can't bear draining and replacing lockshields... help
