The radiator in Rct Jnr bedroom is cold.
Shall I balance the system? Last night I turned the downstairs rads off & it got hot.
It’s worked until now & nothing has been touched.
The TRV - shall I replace it?
Very strange indeed
Cheers all

I'd look at the TRV first, they are the main suspects,

Can you change a trv without draining down or is it risky?
If I change one I may as well change another 2.

Rad seems ok now, gets hot
Tested 3 times & gets hot now
I undid a valve a bit to loosen the trv spring bit. See how it goes. No leaks anyway.
Good job, only took short time
