Radiator Bleed Screw on BX TZD

I have a quick question on the rad bleed screw on a BX TZD - mine only turns 1/4 turn and doesn't appear to actually open at all - is this correct or is there a trick to opening it? I'm referring to the bleed screw on the top right hand of the rad as you face the car.

Hi Roscoe,
These tend to get stuck if not used for a while, you will probably have to use a pair if pliers or similar to un stick it.

Some are silly. If yours is one of these,Turn 90 degrees anti clockwise, pull up and turn 90 degrees clockwise to release.

Thanks Tom - I think mine is one of those - it's plastic and I don't want to force it. Will try the turn, lift and turn trick on it!
