remove the top of the trv and check the pin is not stuck shut.
if you place a coin or something on the pin and push it down it should pop back up when coin removed.
if you can't push it down its stuck shut.

PROVIDING TRV IS OK TURN ON JUST HEATING AND TURN OFF ALL OTHER RADS AND JUST HAVE THE ONE ON THATS PLAYING UP ON THIS WILL SHIFT ANY AIR IN THE PIPES THAT POSSIBLY STOPPING IT WORKIN

not trv stuck i think,pipes both ends stone cold

It`s probably a balancing problem. The radiators nearest your boiler will heat up first, if the valves are fully open. ( not TRV`S other end) they will starve the rest of heat. Try turning down valves closest to boiler and fully opening the ones furthest away.

Try what i said previously but have the conservatory rad on to

It`s got nothing to do with air, it`s about heat distribution.

we will see (thoughts have moved on from just air) . must be a serious heat distribution problem if it cant even heat only one rad

not trv stuck i think,pipes both ends stone cold

cause pipes both ends willbe cold if water can't get past trv then the other pipe won't get hot.
