I installed a complete wet system in a house about 15 years ago when I lived in the UK. Over there, this is by far the most common method of heating. New radiators are readily available both modern and old style/reproduction, so I’d assume they are available somewhere this side of the world. If you buy salvage rads, maybe get them pressure checked so you know they are sound and not also rusting out inside. Our system had thermostatic valves on every rad, so individual rads could be controlled for room heat, switched off and removed with out draining down the whole system and disabling it. These valves were very cheap, and easy to fit. Depending on your pipework, you could probably fit some temporary pipe in to get the system running while you source new rads. If your rads are rusting out, they probably all need replacing. The system should run an antifreeze / rust inhibitor mix, and it needs strength testing every few years. We used an additive called Fernox….not sure what is available where you are. Chris
