    There is a radiator here which seems to be the least hot, i have bled it but it still seems luke warm.Would it be the last radiator on the system and its taking longer top heat up.I have a 90-120 BTU condenser boiler .:confused:There are 10 radiators off it.

    See my thread on TRVs where we are discussing balancing?
    Is the radiator a long way from the boiler? If so you may need to close the lockshield valves on the return leg of the radiators that are nearest the boiler to force the water to flow through your cold radiator also. You can get temp sensors that go onto the pipes at each end of a radiator to allow you to match the temp drop across all your radiators but a bit of trial and error will probably get you close enough.

    WE are not disscussing the issue, air. I'm trying to explain you the basics of balancing a wet CH system.

    @ the OP:

    Your system very likely needs balancing. Get a heating engineer in, check the SEAI home page on the issue.

    I didn't notice you explaining anything tbh, you're just speaking in generalities without addressing any of the points I have made.
    Anyway the OP here knows what he needs to do now. /OT.
