Whatever you do don't unscrew it too far or the valve will fall out and you'll have the same mess I once had!!
If you haven't got a key B&Q or the other stores sell them.
Yeah the rad has 2 sections front and back each as a bleed valve on top right at the back, the pumber said they are old and worn away, I have a normal key as the upstairs ones are a normal bleed valve.
