Rad keeps going cold

I don't get this "Balancing". The old boiler used to heat all rads at the same setting. Also, it's inconsistent as I can get the front room rad to heat by playing around with the lock shields but again, they go cold after a day or so. A pump pump water round the whole system so why doesn't it go through all rads ? It doesn't make sense. The pipe feeding the cold rad is absolutely red hot. Again, the rads are clean and clear inside.

I managed to get the balance right buy tweaking the rads here and there until it worked. well, for about 3 weeks that is and the same thing has happened again. Now what do you think has happened ?
 
looks to me to be a restriction of some kind, have you taken rad valves apart to check water flow through them?
