i will open them all take of TRV tops see how it runs at the new 8Kw setting and see what temps i get on boiler , and then get installers back to do what they should have done in 1st place and commision it properly But i will get some of the clip on thermomiters anyway

i did wonder about that and yes TRV dose have both arrows , i did try and balance this rad using locksheild 1st but unlike rest of rads both pipes were always red hot , so i opened up the locksheild on flow full turned down TRV only then did i get a difference and manage to reduce return temp
