    I have a hint of a weep from the 'stub' at the bottom of the new radiator (male connector to connect the valve). Used plenty of PTFE tape - twice. Should I use jointing compound instead?

    Thanks (again)

    Use about 15 wraps of ptfe, if that leaks do the same again with some lsx on top of that.

    Maybe just a bit gentle with it, Dick - I'll go large with the PTFE and give it some wellie!
    Cheers
