Am in the middle of re-newing kitchen. Took out long single panel rad & replaced with shorter double to gain more wall space. Switch heating on to check & new rad is only one which doesn't heat.
Anyone know what the problem could be?
Cheers

I presume you have bled the rad adter 2 minutes of CH on?
I drained the whole system down before changing radiators. After changing rad I refilled system & bled with heating off. When new rad didn't heat I bled it with system running but got only water & no air. I suspect that it might be the lockshield but I don't know which direction to turn it in or how far to turn it.

It's a normal tap. Clockwise closes it, anti-clockwise opens it.
Leave it wide open and see if it causes any other rad to be cool.
Marked it with a felt pen & turned it two turns acw & it now works a treat. Thanks guys.
Andy.
