I'd say radiator first. They and their valves have a habit of exuding
black filth when the unions are fiddled with.

I totally agree. Otherwise, it's likely you'll spill something nasty on the
newly cleaned carpet while changing the radiator.

You *are* sure, are you, that it's the radiator itself which is leaking -
and not the valves or pipework?
