Thanks Bill! The system seems to be operating pretty well at the moment but I'll print off the info for future reference. Thanks again for your help Tony

Well, finally I have a radiator that is hot from top to bottom! My thanks to all who gave help and advice on this problem. Tony

OK will try that!

I've tried increasing and decreasing the flow through the rad. It doesn't seem to make much difference. I did realise early on that I'd put the bleed valve on the wrong end of the rad and had to change it round. To do this I had to drain off some water, which I did through the bleed valve...

Have tried running on max speed and also turning it down to 2 but no difference. The rad takes a long time to get heat through from cold. I'll try balancing the system and see what transpires. Thanks to everyone for their help! Obviously, if anyone else has any ideas, I'd be happy to hear...

The radiator in my lounge, which I think is the last one in the system, is hot at the top and cooler at the bottom. Thinking this could be a build-up of sludge, and as the rad was 24 years old, I replaced it with a convector rad. The problem is till there! Does anyone have experience of the same...
