Hi colin,

does it have a blanking plug like this-



If it does you could use that, just open it slightly with a suitable spanner and then nip it back up when the water hits it.

Ideally if you have one of those you could replace one of them with one of these-



This will make it much easier to bleed in future.

Here is the how to page, for people with bleed valves-

Quinn radiators used to be Barlo radiators, if it is a roll-top type the bleed nipple is top right inside the roll-top Thumbright
