All,

In case you were waiting with bated breath...

Judging by the 'glooping' sound as I opened the lockshield valve, the
problem was a combination of sludge and a not-really-opened-enough
lockshield valve.

The rad is now working perfectly. It's easy really, innit? grin


Thanks everyone.

Well done.

I balanced a new system for a friend (via the lockshields) after the
installer failed to do it and one radiator stopped working after a few
weeks. The sealing washer on the lockshield had swollen in contact with
the hot water, shutting it off. All was fine after a tweak on the
balancing.
