All ok on the rad. The pipework will definitely need modding, so I guess
a degree of draining down will be needed. Presumably, as it's an
upstairs rad, so at the top of the system, if I shut off any other
upstairs rads so that they cannot drain back into the upstairs
pipework, then not much water will need to be removed ?


If you're not sure of the condition, a full drain down and flush followed
by new inhibitor will do no harm.

If draining down is difficult, now is the time to fit one of those
combination lockshield valves and drain at a convenient rad - ie one close
to an outside door.
