Any ideas as to what could be the problem with the lounge radiator? It's
freezing!!!!


It sounds like your system is in need of balancing (and also by the
sounds of it a good clean and desludge!).

The first is easy enough to do with a bit of time:

The sludge issue may be more of a problem however:

Andy Hall has posted a detail account of how to carry out a system flush
without the need for professional power flushing on a number of
occations. This thread might be a good starting place:

Note also that flushing the system may require you to rebalance after -
so do that second!
