try ringing them you have done the obvious.
im presuming you mean ringing as in phoning them. not some plumbing procedure that i havent heard about.
yes phoning. or ringing their necks.
you've shut all the other and no change may be a fault inside.

yup, definitely, all lockshields and trvs downstairs are off rad cold but this bugger refuses to heat up, there are thin vertical strips and large vertical strips all thin ones are heating up and only one of the large vertical ones is heating up.
can't really suggest anything else as the rad is getting a flow.
so sounds like a rad issue.

pipes on trv and lockshield are roasting hot, some strips are heating up nicely but others are refusing, im tee'ed off and going to take a wee breather.
have you tried shutting the locksheild and opening 1/2 way etc instead of fully open ?
No, i havent, would that help it. Ill try it and let you know
may, may not.
It may just sort itself if left to its own devices so give it a couple of days. I have one that did exactly the same when first used.
