Changed HW cylinder in house, water is now nice and hot (indirect system), all rads apart from one are also toasty warm.

One however is not! The flow and return to the rad are visible as its been added to the house, the flow (i think) is hot about half way down the pipe, but then cold, so assume an airlock has appeared!

Whats the best way of clearing this? Will switching off all other rads and forcing water to this one sort it out, or is there a quicker/better way?

Cheers guys
 
Sorry, dont really get the wording on the reply.

Is there some words missing to make the sentence?
 
if their is say 3 rads on one spur off the main flow and return, shut the two hot ones so that the third gets all the flow.
then airlock should push out.

Will probably work in about 2 minutes total!
