    When balancing a system, you open the furthest rad fully open and then restrict the flow as you you get nearer the boiler. Any that are hotter are restricted more.

    The knob on the front controls the temperature of the primary water (water going around rads)

    Control on boiler to reduce output?

    Download the installation manual, will tell you all you need to know. Most installers don't bother rating boiler down, so you'll probably find its factory set to highest output, unless it was done right.

    Confused, not dazed but definitely confused.

    If its air, you will need to shut all radiators, then with the boiler/pump running open one rad and vent into bucket until it's hot, then close and repeat on other radiators. If it's sludge, your need a powerflush of the system

    Confused, not dazed but definitely confused.

    And do the others get hot? Or try turning all the rads off apart from one of the cold ones, if that gets hot there's a circulation problem, sludge or air
