    Did water come out when you bled it ? If not, you do not have enough water in the system. It could be the same problem with the hot water cylinder. Maybe it's not heating at all from the boiler, and you are heating the cylinder with the electric immersion.

    It depends where the boiler is, but it sounds like little or no circulation. If there is water in the rad, the heat should rise to the top, but maybe bad circulation here as well with almost no heat reaching the rad.
