    I presume you have bled any air out of the radiator?

    Yep, I've bled all the rads in the house-water comes out straight away, no air.

    Did the pin move up and down loosely or does it feel 'sprung' ?? If your ex hit it with a hammer, it may have closed permanently... :(

    Hi- it felt springy, is that a bad thing? Stupid ex, never liked parting with cash so nothing ever got done properly :-(

    Well, the little pin on the trv was moving freely in and out so looks like that wasn't the problem..

    ;) The pin moving doesnt necessarily mean the valve does move up and down on its seating, it could still be stuck closed ;)

    Power flush should be done by a central heating professional, someone who works on gas boilers and central heating systems all the time, therefore "Gas Safe registered", it will be much better than one who just accomplished 3 hours powerflush course. My machine has a flow rate of more than double that of most power flushing pumps on the market, enabling it to remove more debris from a system and in less time.
