Are you sure you have the capacity to power 2 extra rads off the 10mm flows?
The internal diameter of plastic pipe is smaller; so you have a flow loss there; are the new rads larger than those where you "tapping-off" from?
Just a thought that possibly you just don't have enough flow going to the rads with that size piping to power them both. Especially if you have a bit of junk in the system; them new pipes will be like a magnet to any sediment; thus reducing them even more.

Thanks, I am thinking of putting in a chemical and see if i can shift what ever it is if anything.
I will put the stuff in and then drain after a couple of days but drain from the new rads, I think that way i can see how quickly it drains.
As I had said next doors has the same set up and no probs.
Has anyone had any experience of using the chemical to remove sludge and - rap ?
