hi, I have 1 radiator which won't warm up. Watched a few guides and think I have narrowed it down to the trv valve. Only problem is I can't get the valve cover off to check the pin. It's a myson valve if that helps, probably very old.
Any help would be appreciated and thank you

Give it a wiggle and pull should pop off
 
Shaun you are awesome. Was worried to pull it too much before but a good wiggle and a bit of force sorted it. Pin was indeed stuck and thanks to you I now have a lovely hot radiator.

Hi, I’m looking for some advice on how to remove this radiator value to check if the pin is stuck. I have two similar values in the house where those radiators aren’t heating up at all. The pipe leading into the value is cold but the rest of the system is working fine. Thanks for any help/advice!

This is driving me bonkers! I have a Jaquar shower mixer unit - which has started to leak from the diverter cartridge. I think it's an early Florentine model circa 2006 though not 100% sure. I've removed the faceplate, unscrewed the chrome collar - and now want to extract the diverter...
