Thanks for your help Vee its surprising how out of touch you get when you've been off your tools for a few years
I've still got tallow, plumbers black, wiping cloth, putty rag and string in by tool kit, I am joking of course, but I remember those days like they were yesterday.

I don't know if he freed the valve up by operating it manually but the system is now working fine.

What method of fixing would you recommend?
