PT: Advice on a Drayton EB valve body leaking from the top

A routine check revealed a leaking valve body on the en suite bathroom radiator.
I removed the thermostatic head and found the range limiting pins to be severely corroded.
Now, I’m resigned to draining the heating system and replacing the faulty valve body.

My question: In the interim, is there any point in fitting a decorator’s valve cap in place of the thermostatic head?

I’m thinking that if the cap were screwed right down it would push the pin into the valve and stop the leak. Obviously, that would be a temporary measure until I can source the replacement part and schedule the work.

Any helpful comments from more experienced folks would be much appreciated. Thanks.
