Noticed a small brown patch of liquid in the cloakroom yesterday, just underneath the inlet side of the towel radiator, which is one of those laddered chrome types).
Further inspection reveals what I presume is a faulty weld, on the 3rd cross pipe, where it's welded into the upright box section.
1) For now, I have closed both valves (counting the lockshield turns). Is this enough to prevent the whole system emptying (over time) ?
2) Presumably the only sensible fix is to replace the rad ? No reliable repair available ?
3) Given the amount of welding involved in these rads, compared to a traditional one, is this fault much more likely in any event ?
Cheers all.
