Hi,
I would appreciate your advice regarding an issue I am having with one of my radiators.
Symptoms
I am not sure which position this radiator is within the system. I am guessing that it is the second one from the pump (5 radiators in total).
I have bled them all, as well as the system, but the problem keeps returning. There is no evidence of water escaping from this radiator, and the joints seem ok. There is no problem with the other radiators. The system is 'sealed' and hasn't lost any pressure. This radiator was removed recently and cleaned out and I was wondering if it is possible that this could have caused an air lock in the pipes between this radiator and the one before it? I have not been in this house for long, so I don't know the situation prior to the radiator being removed.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Also, how could I check if there is an airlock in the pipes, and more importantly, how can I get rid of this?
Thanks,
Gary

Symptoms
- Radiator is requiring bleeding approx. once per week
- When the central heating 'kicks in' I can hear water bubbling in this radiator - almost as if the radiator is empty and it is filling up when the pump starts
