is it a good idea to bleed the 2 rads that aren't working, of some water. hoping that air will eventually come out?

Yes - as I said at 8 o'clock this morning keep letting water out of the bottom of the system until the air starts moving. If your only way to do that is via a bleed valve then so be it.

BUT I continue to think you've got other issues as well which need attention. Better to call someone out now to it this very afternoon and you stand a chance of getting it going again this evening. If you delay then it's my guess you'll be cold again tonight and if its necessary to drain it again then you'll have wasted your time - like 5 hours today already. Sorry but I'm trying to be realistic for you.

i'm going to bleed the 2 new rads for a bit and then phone a plumber if there is no improvement.

Can you tell us what the problem was and how it was fixed.

the water inlet was blocked with sludge.

not 100% sure how it was fixed, my girlfriend dealt with it as i had to leave for work.
