I did. They said they haven't faced this issue before and said they can't program Nissan electronics. Basically palmed me off

Nope. Haven't replaced the lickshield valve. The valve on the flow side is definitely working- gets hot and regulates flow. The valve on return remains cold. I am wondering that if its the valve - then they'd both get hot?

That's helpful. Looks like the battery change wasn't dome properly then?

Thanks. Can you help me understand what is coding the battery to the car? My previous car battery had corroded out, so the garage replaced it with a new one. They rechecked all connections as well. Do you mean reprogramming the key to the car? Sorry if these are very simple questions.

Right, that makes total sense. It's probably the last in the circuit. So had a slower flow anyway and then the debris aggravated the issue. I also get a lot of gurgling noises in the top radiators despite bleeding them often. One plumber suggested it could be the gases building up due to...

It was purchased brand new in 2019 when we installed the new plumbing system

Thanks. I tried this technique on Sunday. Shut all the rads except this. Yet it never budged beyond 40 degrees ( I have an infrared thermometer to check the temperature). When I slowly opened the other rads, they quickly jumped to 60 degrees within 10 minutes or so.

It is one of the original ones. I don't remember exactly, but it was heating slower than the others from pretty much the first few years.

Thank you. Sorry - I am a total novice here. Do you mind explaining what it means to reset the electronics?

Thanks. I presume it helps to avoid build up of further sludge after a powerflush?

What's Magnaclean? Is it a sort of inhibitor?

I have tried offering the FOB to the start/stop button for linking it. Is that what you mean?

Thank you. When you mean get it coded - does that mean take key to dealership for reprogramming?

We have put an inhibitor as well. Was put when instalation was done. But I have seen the liquid coming out is dark brown in colour. Probably the new radiators needed a flush when installed and it wasn't done? Also does it make a difference that they are cast iron? Do they sludge quicker?

Yes, it was strange that we saw corrosion on the battery. It kept dying so we finally had to replace it. Have a new start stop battery fitted in last week. The key fault started only after the new battery was fit in.
