Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.1 -
you can get cheaply caps that will screw on and fully close the valve where the tvr is
unscrew the tvr, replace with a cap, turn cap fully down
alternatively turn rad off using other end opposite to tvr, but count and note the no of turns so if you ever turn it on again you maintain the balance.1 -
