in 1997 we had a new boiler fitted to replace the old baxi back boiler. The new boiler was placed in the loft, but otherwise used all the same pipes etc. The new boiler is an Halstead Best 50 running on gas.

In 2002 we had two new radiators to replace the Dining room radiator (we had a new Patio door fitted) plus one in the Lounge area (open plan) to suppliment the gas fire.

The two new radiators have never worked as well as the others, the main difference is that these two were fed by plastic pipes - not copper. This year there is no heat from these two rads, some heat is getting to one feed pipe, but then it stops. It turns out that both are fed by one set of pipes - they are sharing

Could be just a balancing issue. Do they work if you turn the rest of the rads off.
