Anyone know anything about radiators? I've been messing about with ours as one never used to come on. Bled them all and got the broken one going again - good work me, plumbing is just water lego.
However, we've got a problem with the thermostat valves. The valve presses the pin no matter what setting it's on, shutting off the radiator, when it's screwed on with the knurled knob. As in, the plastic plunger thing that presses the radiator pin is too low. So, is the valve adjustable? Or do I just have to leave the valve completely off to have the radiator on? (I don't care if so - we never adjust them.)
Picture attached - it looks like it might be adjustable from what I can see here. It's got these metal pins in the bottom with a ring of different settings. No idea where to start with it as I can't get the thing apart.
Edit: side note, I'm renting, so extremely averse to paying for something new or bothering to contact my landlord
