Removing this radiator without spilling water everywhere
Discussion
Fair enough, we need to get someone to check the boiler anyway so they could maybe even power flush it without taking it off, there’s a lot of liquid/tinkling air noise when that radiator starts up, which isn’t on the others (all of which have one pipe at the bottom and a TRV at the top, didn’t realise it was unusual).

That rad, possibly the TRV is turning off before the whole rad has heated, because the rd warms the TRV too much?
No the water is still going through it, the TRV pretty much never triggers as we leave it open as it's the coldest room, the problems have only become noticeable the last few months too. The noise has been there for longer though, almost sounds like bits of iron filings getting pumped round with water and air, doesn't happen on any other radiators. Have bled the radiator and there's no air in it that I can tell.Guess it's the age old thing of money vs time, it might be worth just paying someone who knows what they're doing rather than me spending a whole weekend working out what's going on and making a fecking mess!
