    On older systems, the (room) thermostat operated only the pump, not the boiler.
    Hence loads of hot water if thermostat was turned down to low.
    Turn it up and see what happens.

    Forget the actual numbers as old thermostats get a bit worn and don't read accurate. But still work ok.
    Listen for a click when you turn it.
    Below click turnes off pump, above click switches on pump.
    Try 5-10° above click, radiator's should get hot, if not, you need a plumber.
