1.Check that both the rad valves are open.
2.Push a needle or similar through the small hole where the pin is located for the air bleed, to see if it is clear (sometimes painted over.) Do this whilst it is cold and without the system being on. have a bucket ready to catch any water when you take out the pin completley and should you drop or lose the pin for any reason switch off the radiator valves till you find it.
drop it in the jar
