Hi
one of my radiaters clearly has air in it but when I open the valve nothing comes out. The valve is the same as the one below, do I need to loosen the nut as well please or any other ideas or help would be great. Thank you

Use you key to take out air valve use a needle or similar to clear any muck replace valve turn on rad valves see if its cleared.
