A happy ending (Was: Bleeding radiators...)

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?


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.
