hi doitall why would i have to re pipe the rads in what way ? 
OP, you seem to have said that you have a few rads in series ( one pipe system ) and the circulation is currently by gravity.
If that is the case all you need to do is to add your extra rad in series together with a pump controlled by a room stat and a pipe stat connected in series. With the pump creating the flow you could use your 15 mm tube.

You need a flow for the heating circuit, the return you could reuse if you install an injector tee, and cut/cap the pipe where it joins the primary return at high level.
Don't talk rubbish Tony, your confusing the OP, at least look at the sketch.
The OP is confusing me! The sketch is no more enlightening!
Regardless, properly configured, I would expect he will need a pump triggered from a pipe stat but ideally via a cylinder satisfied stat.
I am sure he will be better having it implemented by a professional.

problem is had 2 plumbers round and they say they dont know single pipe systems and one stated he only works with plastic
The Op says "one pipe" and I'm seeing two pipes on the drawing.
Albeit they run off the page to no mans land.
It would be good to know the proper layout and what make of log stove and what mi's state for his particular appliance.
