Hi there
Recently removed a double radiator to lay some flooring. When I put it back, I turned the system on and opened the in pipe and both bleed valves (one on the rear and one on the front panels). When the rad was full and both valves dripped water I closed them both and opened the out valve. Now when the system is on, the rear panel gets considerably warmer than the front. I have obviously caused this but don't know how to resolve. When I open both bleed valves they both ooze water.
Any help appreciated.

Did you take the radiator outside and flush with the hose and get rid of the sludge etc. :?: Or did you just lay it on its side while doing the flooring. If this was the case, I suspect sludge has filled one side of the double radiator and caused a partial blockage. Water is flowing through the side of least resistance.

Take it off again and give it a good blast with the hose.
