I have fixed a couple of 340 radiators by soldering them up; using a small blowtorch or a 200W electric iron as appropriate with complete success: at least as far as the radiator was concerned.
Now for confession time... Whilst doing the soldering on one of them in the comfort of my girlfriend's conservatory I paid rather less attention than I should have done when putting the iron down and melted a hole in the Vinyl floor covering. Fortunately she still married me but to this day my stepdaughter has never let me forget it. Just ask her about the day I 'soldered the Lino'
You'd have hoped that her memory would have faded after more than 25 years but no, not a bit of it!
They're usually fixable but do take care!
