I have just moved into a house fitted with these, Honeywell made.
They all seem to work more like a setting valve rather than as a
thermostat. Do I not need to drain any water, just undo the head
somehow, and then find a pin under there? I haven't tried anything
yet, other things need more attention!

They are TRVs (thermostatic radiator valves).
Look em up on Google for all the tech data but they work like
individual thermostats for the temp around each rad... when they're
not sticking
Saves having a rad on in a room which is already warm, because the
room stat is located in the hallway, where it might be cooler!

Yes, I know how they are supposed to work, but they don't. They are
several years old, so this discussion caught my eye as being relevant.
