Without sounding really stooopid, I dont understand why I have a radiator without a thermostat. Am I right in thinking that this radiator that helps regulate the others?
Ive not used oil central heating before. Any info would be gratefully received.:)

The radiators with thermostatic valves control the temp in those rooms. The radiator in the room that is last/slowest to heat up (usually the hall) has no thermostatic valve, but has the room thermostat in. When that room gets warm enough the room stat turns the boiler off.
Without it, the boiler would turn on/off with its internal boiler stat, so it would be cycling on and off every couple of minutes, which is very inefficient.A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0
