Yeah that is the case, and yes some questionable pipework, it took me ages to get my head around it, thinking there must be a reason they’ve done this because it is more effort to do it this way! But there was no reason, must of had some spare Pipe so made a few extra loops hahah

It definitely wasn’t original piping, there was a disgusting mix of pipe work, couplings, elbows under the floor, and lots of plastic and copper off cuts, so no idea what has happened under there, but at least it’s now resolved, and I got to crawl under my house which was kinda cool hahah

So that issues was on another rad downstairs! Not the problem rad!!

Update!! So it’s fixed! After speaking to a mate he suggested checking under the floor so I cut a hole in the floorboard and got under neath, there was a return and inlet T’d into the same pipe. Causing a constant loop Essentially, so I capped off the return as it’s was basically stealing the...

Thank you! I’ll give this a go! And you’re right I am in longshot territory! There was me hoping it was a stuck pin hahaha

I’m starting to think it’s pipe to the rad, but when I drained direct from the TRV it was a powerful flush coming out

Thanks for the info, I’ll be honest you have said a few things there that mean nothing to me, I can only assume it’s laid out correctly, but having only been here a few months I couldn’t be sure, it’s a early 80s build.

So I closed all other LS and let the bad rad warm up, turned another downstairs rad 1/4, wasn’t hot after 5 mins, turned another 1/4, the rad got hot, checked the front room rad, and it’s gone cold. Maybe a blockage in the pipe leading to the bad rad, so when it’s only that being powered it’s...

No I have definitely balanced them, I turned them all Fully open, checked the order that heats up first, turned all Lock shields closed, then started with the rad that heated up first. My first rad is open about 1/4 turn on the LS, then moved onto the next, and opened just enough until it got...

Range range rated I have no idea, it’s 15mm pipe to the rad, and it’s a logic combi2

It’s a double panel rad sorry forgot to specify, I will try this tomorrow, as not sure I’ve attempted this method yet, and will update tomorrow! Thanks for the reply! And I hope it works haha

The boiler is only 5 months old. It went 6 weeks after we moved in :D

We’ve only lived here since April, so I’m not sure as first noticed it when the heating went on 2 Months ago, that’s how long it’s been breaking me!! One plumber been out and said I need a new rad, but for example now, all the others are off, and the front room is lovely and warm, so it works...

It won’t heat up if other rads are on at all, it just doesn’t warm up, I’ve tried it so I open the lockshield on the bad one fully, with it being the only radiator on at all, if I open a lockshield on any other radiator to the point it’s enough to warm up, it makes the bad one go cold. The...

I did . First made note of what rads get hot in what order, then starting with the one that gets hottest first, Turned lockshield until it gets hot, moved on, I do the 4 on the top floor, then the front room but even fully open it doesn’t get hot. The only way it warms up is when all Other rads...
