Broken air bleed valve has gone into radiator

[Steve150360]

Is this a problem that a section of air bleed screw is rattling around in the radiator

Yes depending on where it ends up; blocking a valve or scoring a valve seat so that it won’t shut off properly, blockings waterway in the boiler etcetc.
Best to remove the rad and flush it out.

Rad is off and flushed it but it won’t come out- it’s a myson round top radiator, it’s the thread to the nut and bleed valve probably 6mm in diameter

Take one of the valve tails out to give it room to come out.

I’ve taken both tails out and still no joy, it’s quite a long rad (2165mm) to maul about. I’ll have to get a new one. Thanks for all the advice
