Hi - diy novice here.
I've a radiator in a bedroom that does not heat up.
I've removed the radiator and flushed it through and after putting it back on and opening the valves, hot water rushed in but has not passed back out.
I've bled all the radiators in the house (5) after putting this one back on but it is still not heating up.
The radiator has a standard valve on it's left and a thermostatic valve on it's right. I originally opened the left valve to re-fill it.
I'm not sure which way the water should flow but does it sound like one of the valves are faulty.
How easy is it to fit a new valve and I'm not bothered about it being a thermostatic valve if that's the fault.
Your comments will be greatly appreciated and will give my ears a rest.
cheers
