Hi all, my sister’s house has a radiator that needs bleeding but the valve is broken and rusted (see pic). What would be the best (cheapest) course of action?
thanks

New rad as it’s leaking
 
As above, replace the rad.

For a temporary fix drill a small hole at the top of the rad to let air out then screw in a self tapper with a bit of ptfe on its threads. But this is silly, just replace the rad.
