radiator thermostat?

is it a black and white myson one? they pretty good at failing in closed position and shutting rad off.

was it working before you removed it? did you wind it to 5 then screw collar to valve?

if it has failed i would go to plumb centre or similar and buy a new rad valve with thermostatic head, exactly the same as the one you have and swap the head.

if you cant find one you'll have to change full valve.
