Or a cheaply installed one, or one where as in our case, the boiler and main bathroom where the tank and 3-way valve is, are in one corner of the house (on different floors). And it also turns out that some of the piping isn't too good either.
Now, what do you suppose I should do about that? Rip up all the floors and resize the pipes to the rads? [1] Move the boiler to a central part of the house, like in the under-stairs cupboard?
No, what I do is tune the radiator water distribution using the LSVs. Much easier, wouldn't you say?
[1] Course that would allow me to have underfloor insulation put in too, as well as insulating the pipes.
