Hi,
I have a towel radiator installed in an upsatirs bathroom that fails to get warm in the top 70%. I have bled it to buggery, but to no joy. Any thoughts?
 
I have the same problem with my towel rad but have not tried to bleed it yet. Very much a novice in plumbing. I have a new combi boiler just fitted. If you bleed the rad I guess you then have to pressure the system again if it drops below the 1bar mark. Am I on the right path here?

The rad is hot at the bottom with both in and out flow hot (are these the 'tails'?).

Has anyone got information on how you re-pressure the system there does not seem to be any details in the user manual.

I have a Worcester Bosch R40 HE Plus combi.

Hope someone can help.
Thanks
 
Surely your installer gave you instructions on how to pressurize your boiler,
and stop hijacking threads.
 
No he didn't! Point taken on the thread etiquette. Just trying to get some help!!
