yu dont need to remove the B&Q ones - coz they have a bleed valve built in - so you can bleed the system cold or HOT!

Yep used PTFE tape but still leaked, only did the troublesome one tho still to try the other and the 2 on mine.

I think it is just where the thread was a bit buggered from the forced removal of the old plug.

And they were from B n Q! And have a purpose lol

If yu take the plug out, dry the threads as best you can, then use gas sealing compound , i find that works.
