Default Cold Radiators

Hi
can anyone pinpoint the cause of this problem on my c/h system?
All the rads are hot upstairs but are cold downstairs. I have tried bleeding
each one downstairs but didn"t have any luck.
I tried a new pump and still no joy
Any advice would be much appreciated
Many Thanks

It sounds like the rdas upstairs are robbing the heat.Your system might need
to be balanced. the water will need to be forced downstairs. start closing
the valve on the side of the rad you don't normally turn it on & off from.
