Fitted heated towel rail - now no heating on downstairs rads - what have I done wrong?

As per the title. I've fitted a heated towel rail (duel fuel) in place of the bathroom radiator. It's quite a tall one, much higher than the previous rad, but it filled up with no problems. I've bled all of the rads, there is still a slight gurgling from the pump but nothing excessive. I've got no heat in any of the downstairs ones - not even slightly warm. All of the upstairs ones are really hot.

The water was relatively clean so I don't think anything's sludged up.

Have I upset the balance somehow? I've tried turning the towel rail off completely but that makes no difference.

Or have I got an airlock? I've drained/refilled the system before and didn't have any airlock problems then.

TIA

Ok stand down.

I think it was an airlock. One of the upstairs thermostatic valves was stuck shut. When I released it there was much gurgling. The downstairs is starting to warm up now. Phew.
