Central Heating Advice

My parents recently had 2 extra radiators added to their central heating system.
These new radiators don't seem to reach temperature.
They were added as 'spurs' to the existing two raidators at the end of the heating 'circuit' (hope this makes sense). The fella that fitted them used microbore pipe whereas the rest of the 'circuit' is traditional 1/2" (ish) pipe.
My question is whether the use of this microbore pipe would restrict the temperature these new radiators reach or is it that the whole system can't cope with the extra rads?
