Broken the TRV off of its screw mount. There is still a bit of the TRV
left on the vavle by the way - you will need to unscrew this knurled
ring from the valve base before you can fit the new one.

In the mean time you can use the valve at the other end of the radiator.
You may need to take the cap of of it first however. When you do you
will see a small brass bar with a flat on it sticking up. You may need
pliers to get a grip on this.

It may look like:

Note that if you turn this one down, count the number of turns you give
it when you do. Then restore the original position later when you
replace the TRV head.
