Hi everyone - help needed please!

I have an old radiator which was too hot so last winter I unscrewed / removed the cap on the bottom which seemed to shut it off. I somehow missed that there is a top valve to do this…

I have no idea what the cap I removed looks like or where I put it...

The bottom valve is presumably the inlet. It has a little nipple on it that might be a water valve (I can depress it). Presumably I need to buy a cap and screw it back on to depress the nipple and open the valve so the radiator works again?

If so, what sort of cap do I need to buy?

The thread measures about 25mm across, and the valve nipple appears to be about 15mm above the thread.

Thanks in advance!
Tim
