If the radiator only has a single valve (ie on one side) then the spreader tube has snapped off, a new valve is expensive (£25 odd) though you maybe able to get a new pipe attached (someone on this site will know if they can be reattached). As it has broke you may as well have it repiped with a valve on each end of radiator, this is less likely to suffer from blockages to.
take the rad back off the pipe is prob still in the bottom

Take the rad back off an tip it up so the bit of pipe falls out ..the bit of pipe just pushes back into a hole in the valve give it a twist to lock it in place slide rad back over insertin pipe... If the pipe doesn`t come out you will have to buy some and the smallest length it comes in is usually 3metres but is cheap... Use enough to reach half way across rad
