Hi, could anyone advise me on a radiator not heating up?
I recently removed a radiator from the lounge (permanently) - when I refilled the system and tested the other lounge radiator wasn't working. I replaced both valves (TRV and lockshield) and the radiator still didn't heat up. I have now removed the radiator and there is no flow from the lockshield valve even when fully opened so the pipe seems to be blocked. Is this likely to be an airlock or something else? Any advice on what I can do now?
This is a sealed system with a Glow-worm flexicom cx combi boiler.
Another thing to note is that the radiator that I removed never used to heat up particularly well - I assumed it was because this had been connected by teeing off from the other radiator and this was too much demand (both are very large radiators - one a double).
Thanks very much
