cold radiator

I have recently removed most of my rads in my house as i am decorating i have refitted refilled and bled them now and refilled the combi to 1.5 bar all the rads warm up apart from one in the front room. Both the valves are open and one gets hot but thats as far as it gets any ideas

doe`s it have a thermostatic rad valve if so pin might be sticking remove thermo rad cap and push pin up and down a few times DO NOT remove pin from valve as will give you more problems good luck 🙂regards turnpin

no trv just your standard rad valve. is it worth taking off the rad and flushing it out it just seems wierd that the valve and the tail gets hot but not the rad itself

seems like the obvious next step do it when system is cold and when off open the valve that is not getting hot and see if its working by draining some water from this valve might be faulty valve good luck🙂regards turnpin
