Turn off the other radiators (on one side only) when sitting room rad gets hot turn them back on.
If that doesn't work and you have thermostatic rad valves, this may be stuck. Besure that both valves are fully open.
Kinda have the same problem meself.. Why would you only turn off the other rads on one side? will try it myself but just interested in the reasoning behind it..
Davy,
i have the same problem but i dont have thermostatic rad valves on my rads. there is one rad in the kitchen and one rad in the living room that just wont heat up. on the opposite side of the walls to these rads are other rads that are heating up just fine. i switched off all the rads last night then switched on the heating and went to the 2 rads that wont heat up and let a little water out to see if this would help. but nothing still happened. i will try again this evening and see if it works but can you think of anything else? i have let all the air out of the system as i have an air vent in the hot press and after letting that go no air came out????
thanks,

Hi DavyJones,
Oh you're so clever!!
This is a forum to offer advice and assistance to others.
I'm replying to the OP....."all comments welcome"
Same problem here. Pulled pin up but no go. Rad has been off for years. Bled it and that is fine. Any idea anyone?Hi,
Do you have thermostatic rad valves? If the answer is yes then the pin in the valve could be stuck.... that's what it sounds like to me. You could open the valve fully by turning all the way but the pin might be stuck down therefore keeping rad closed. Screw off top of thermostatic valve with your hand and you should see a pin. Check that this is moving up and down freely i.e. opening/closing the flow of hot water. They get stuck sometimes. If it is stuck just pull the pin up with a pliers which will open the flow of water into the rad and solve your problem. Mine stick from time to time especially after a period of non use.
Good Luck
