Our radiators have these caps on, these are 'soft' plastic i.e. they won't turn the valve, as they don't seem to 'seat' properly, and when you think they are turning the valve - on inspection the inside of the plastic cap is just churned up. The old rigid plastic caps work much better,you can tell when you put them on the valve they are 'locked' in position but where can I get some of these from ?
got my replacement radiator caps from www.holdfastradiatorvalves.co.uk They were good value and super easy to fit. Family run company I think, so nice and friendly too. Main thing is that these one's are UNIVERSAL, so no worries about buying the wrong one's and having to send them back. Also seem to remember that they do them for the old-fashioned cast iron radiators too.
Would definitely recommend
