Thanks Fuzzy
Problem for me was that the valves on the rads (non TRV) were a bit of a mixed bunch and I could not tell which were Lockshield and which were on/off types. I have now gone round and replaced all the non TRV valves with Lockshield. The non-working rad now does work but I have found that I need to close all the other rads almost right down (about 1 turn open on the Lockshields) to get enough flow through it. Something has changed since putting in TRV's but I am not sure what
