I wish that there was a plumber in this area who was as concise as you. Tks for your help, I shall give it to the first plumber who comes in.
I forgot to mention that this is a towel radiator that works when the hot water is on( gravity fed maybe but I think that it is pump fed?).
My radiator has gone cold. I have used a magnet to show where the blockage is (according to some of your info) A plumber removed a valve on the inlet unblocked it and all ok for 2 months. Now back to square 1.No-one in this area knows how to repair it. They also said that sentinel cannot be used...
