thanks all for your help here- the problem is solved! for info with anyone with a similar problem, i turned off all the TRVs on the hot radiators (rather than the lockshields as i had previously done) and this promoted a bit of hot water flow into the cold rads. i then adjusted the lockshields...

thanks i'll have another go shutting down the other rads when i get home and will post up the results - ive removed TRV heads on both cold radiators previously and the pins do move freely on both. any idea why i'd be getting water pressure from both sides of radiator? shouldnt the outlet pipe...

i forgot to reply to that last bit.. they are both 15mm pipes running to and from each. where do i look to find the manifold? would it be under the floor?

Hi yes they have both worked previously - however, one (the furthest away) has never ever got more than lukewarm. the one before it (in terms of distance from boiler), used to be very hot once, even after installation of new boiler...

thank you for that - actually i forgot to mention that in the post - i did try that a week or so ago - i shut off all the lockshields on the other rads, but what happened was that when the boiler kicked in and started pumping hot water, the central heating water temperature rose very quickly...

I have a very confusing radiator problem! I have a recently installed (1yr ago) combi boiler in a one-level flat, which appears to be working fine - it heats up 5 out of 7 of the radiators in my flat more than adequately. it doesnt heat 2 radiators though! (the bedrooms- great!) the 2...
