No Air in all the Radiators.
Closed off all the feed valves on all the other radiators except the problem one. Feed pipe hot. No TRV.
The feed pipe is trying hard but I assume can't push the water though. Slight heat at the top. We had these power flushed some time back it appears they didn't do a good job. The return pipe is cold.
I am thinking of removing the radiator, check to see if any gunk & if so clean out. If not then:
Drain system as first step before removing radiator. If no gunk which I'm sure there won't be.
Remove floor boards, cut a piece of the feed pipe. Check for blockage's continue until blockage found. Once found solder new pipe and make ready for radiator.
Fill system & check for leaks.
If no leaks empty system, place inhibitor and refill.
Return boards furniture etc as it was.
Sound all good? Cheers.
