Removed radiator, valves leaking.

I removed a radiator for decorating, and in the process loosened the valves on each side at the compression fitting.

The valves are still holding, but there is a slow drip and the valves themselves can spin on the pipes. I've tried tightening the compression nuts, but no luck.

I'm thinking the best thing to do is to replace the olives.

Is it worth trying to freeze the pipes before removing the valves, or would it be better to just drain the whole system?

It's a bunaglow with a combi boiler.

What would you do?

How well are the new IPAs selling?

I'm a fan of the new Mad Squirrel and Seven Brothers IPAs Wetherspoon introduced a few months ago.

Makes for a nice alternative to Punk IPA, especially considering that's gone downhill over recent years.

Does anyone know if they're likely to keep both of these new IPAs for the forseeable future? It seems a bit hit and miss in terms of availability from one location to another.
