Brid, forgive an amateur responding.You drained the system to sort out the radiators, now you have to check if sufficient water is back in the system.You may have a feed pipe from your mains into the heating system which you need to turn on when you bleed the radiators, or you may have a small supply tank beside your main tank in the attic. Sometimes the ball-cock sticks in the small tank and you have to manually release it so that the water can get in to fill the tank and supply your system.You need pressure of water coming into the system to force the air out when you bleed the radiators.Sus it out and see how your system works.
