Getting fed up now. Went to B & Q yesterday for a new rad but they did not have one in the required size, 1000 x 500. As a last resort, is it possible that there is not enough flow of water leading from the manifold outlet through to the problem rad. or am I being silly. All other rads. are...

JohnD. No, it isn't a thermo valve and yes water flows from both ends of the radiator/pipework although as I've said, the water just appears to trickle from the flow valve into the radiator. I power flushed the radiator until the water ran clear. On refilling and emptying again the water from...

Water flows freely from both ends of the radiator when drained. Water in the flow pipe is red hot but just seems to stop at the radiator entry (valve gets hot). When replacing the radiator the water that flows into the radiator is hot at the bottom. After bleeding, the hot water moves to the...

WabbitPoo. No, I haven't done anything recently. The radiator has been off donkey's but I never got 'round to do anything about it until this week. I don't feel the cold but my wife does! I'm more or less convinced that it is the radiator itself (I've balanced but to no avail) but I've...
