radiator cold at bottom

radiator to a room in my house. it is a bit cold at the bottom and warm at top. the pipe going in to the radiator is warm on the left but cold on the right side.is this rad fed from another radiator pipework or from the main feed and return ?
sounds a bit obvious but are BOTH the rad valves turned up fully. if so its either 1) kink or blockage in the flow or return pipework to that rad, 2)undersized pipework or 3) incorrectly confgured pipework-u shouldn't really be running a rad off another rad as u are asking for trouble, ideally all rads should be run aff the main circs. good luck - i hope its just the valve thing!
or look at "balancing"

you can run another rad off pipework feeding a rad, don't have to come from the feed and return just balance the two.
