Back at my parents to try and sort out “Cold/Cool” radiators downstairs...well trodden ground I know, sorry !
Basic Semi; Ideal RS330 boiler – all radiators on one zone, 4 upstairs (2 small) and 3 downstairs so nothing really that should cause issues.
Upstairs all hot, downstairs all pretty cool although the inlet side of the first one pretty hot.
Hoping they may just have been a “bit bunged up” I've remove all the downstairs ones and flushed them out – still not getting hot. If I close off the Dining Room/Lounge the final one in the circuit does get hot but as soon as I open the others back to square one. I've played around with balancing as best I can including closing all the one off upstairs with no noticeable effect either.
Pump is [edit' I think] running but I'm wondering if that could be the issue ? The Boilers internal thermostat also seems to kick in quite a bit. Unfortunately the pump isn't that accessible as its under the kitchen floor and the access he made has shrunk in size since I was a bit younger !
Any insight / suggestions would be much appreciated ?
Thanks, FF
