Mend Overheating Thermostat Oil Radiator

How can I stop one radiator overheating?

I have Oil CH. With no Room thermostat. But each radiator has a temperature control (1-8etc.) One of our radiators seem to be constantly on max & then takes an age to cool down. The radiator thermostat is set on min, but seems to make no difference

Heating, Oil Filled Radiators Overheating Thermostat Oil Radiator

Thanks for the advice, but I'm a bit of a novice on this. One do I need to turn off the radiator before I start taking the thermostatic valve off? An two is there a particular tool I need to take the head off as I can't just pull it off & am not sure which bit to unscrew! Sorry!

your thermostatic Valve on your radiator is most likely stuck open . try taking the head of the thermostatic valve should just be a black plastic nut on the bottom side of the head. once off you should see a silver pin on the top of the valve body get a flat headed srew driver , holding it horizontially try and press down the pin sometimes they jam . if this doesnt work you will prob need to change the valve
