    Need to bleed a couple of rads. A standard bleed key is too big. The square section on the rad is smaller. Is it possible to buy a rad key to suit this

    Can they not be done with a flat head screwdriver?

    That only works for Stelrad ones. Go to any plumbing merchants and bring the key you have, tell them you need a smaller one than that, they should have it.

    the vent is probably worn down and you probably wont be able to find one to fit it I'd say but worth a try

    You might need to fit new bleed valves if you can't get the old ones going.
