Default upstairs radiators

hi guys hope some-one can help.
i've got a Worcester 24 cdi installed which works okay,the downstairs
rad is working okay but the upstairs rads only the bottom inch/inch
and half are hot which makes them as useful as a chocolate teapot,
i've been i told it could be that theres not enough water in the
system,but its been like that since it was installed,weather the
people who installed it did it expecting a callback for extra
bunce,but thats what you get when you use (a friend of a friend), i
dont know.
anyway back to the matter in hand, i'm not an engineer but i,m no
muppet either, i've seen a few diagrams but theres nothing about how
to get more water into the system ( if thats the problem)
If some-one could give me some straight forward directions i should be
able to cope
thanks in advance for any help

hope some-one can help as i,m double duveted at the moment :-)))

Could be a problem with air in the system. Are there any bleeder valves on
the radiators?

What you really need is a on site lesson before you make a big mistake
and to learn and understand everything before doing anything. There is
probably no water in the radiator and boiler is low on water or it was
never bled of air with the air valve on the radiator. Bleed it of air
when cold then hot running, if no air comes out then it Might be low
on water but DONT add water to a Hot-warm boiler, let it cool, and you
dont need much water to raise pressure alot, the boiler has a pressure
gauge, what is it, is there an auto water feed. You only want enough
water and pressure to fill all radiators and have no air inside. My
jerk boiler installer wanted me to bleed all 22 radiators, I did. Call
the installer you already paid for this service, you might ruin
everything learning by yourself. There is a pipe that feeds water to
the boiler, your photos helped alot.

1) Please take a remedial English class. Your spelling, punctuation, etc, is
horrible.
2) Look for an air valve at top of the radiator. Have your heat guy show you
how to bleed the air out.
