Two radiators in one of the rooms in the top floor won't heat up apart ftom very slightly at the bottom they actually will heat if we put the boiler up to 80 but the others all seem to heat at 65. Other radiators on same level you could cook an egg on. We tried bleeding. Any other ideas?

No idea what tvrs are, but trv’s are thermostatic radiator valves and lockshield valves are used to control the flow through the radiators. Pins sit under the trv’s, but tbh if you don’t know what these are or how to check them, then I’d say you’ve reached your limits and capabilities.

If pins are not stuck on the problem rads then some balancing required.
May also be that rooms are at temp and trvs closing/closed?
Is the room to temp?
Free up pins.
Close lockshields down by 1/8th turn (at a time) on other very hot rads and see if this pushes heat to the cooler rads.
Leave it 10 mins between adjustments.
