I've had a look around the other threads but i'm still struggling. I have two radiators in the conservatory that on occassion get very hot and quite often are stone cold. All other radiators are fine. I've tried the bleeding and balancing and taken them off an flushed them out. usualy they then get hot, but subsequently go cold (or just barely warm).
Pipes leading into the rads are hot (always are).
I've run out of ideas......... Any help out there?
 
take off the trv head and push the pin up/down repeatedly - open and close the opposite valve too - if the problem persists then it could be that either the flow or return pipe coming from the rad are blocked in some way
 
Thanks for the suggestion, but I have tried this... what's more there are two radiators with the same symptoms so my logic says it's unlikely to be a valve problem
