I have a problem with my radiators, a couple of weeks ago they were all working fine, then suddenly the downstairs rads stopped heating up. We were told to check the pump was working, so my husband had a fiddle with it and tha rad in the hallway started to warm but the living room one didn't. The hallway rad got no hotter than tepid, so we bled all the radiators - water ran clear immediatly. Then we were told to turn off the rads and switch on the ch then turn the rads back on 1 by 1 as they began to heat. we started with the living room rad - it heated up within minutes, as soon as we turned any others on it cooled, the more that were turned on the colder it got. A week on none are heating up particularly well, the hot water is scalding though. The pump is hot and so are the pipes surrounding it, plus the valve pipes.
:(
