Cheers Setty(!), however I have just done this and water is *very* slowly
seeping out of the join in the shaft, between where it turns. How
can I stop this? It is fine when fully open, but not midway.


It's leaking from the gland round the shaft - which needs to be tightened or
re-packed.

First try tightening the small nut nearest the end of the shaft. This will
compress the gland material onto shaft. If that doesn't work, remove the
nut, wind some fine hemp or string (but not nylon) round the shaft, and
refit and tighten the nut - so that the nut pushes the string down into the
gland region. With any luck, that will fix it.

And if that don't work, open that one fully again, and try turning down
the one on the other end of the rad instead ;-)
