Did your plumber flush the system before doing the work? It's not something you have to do but I'm thinking the new microbore run dropping down from the 22mm feed and returns would be a perfect place for any existing muck to gather.
I went to a job where a little used radiator in a back bedroom would only get hot(ish) at the top, I thought the rad was probably sludged up so took it off and hosed it out in the yard, a fair bit of gunk came out but not as much as I expected.
After reconnecting it was still behaving the same. Took it off again and opened both valves into buckets, one was good but the other one was just a trickle. Connected a hose pipe up to the valve on the bad side with a 3/4" flexi tap connector and dangled it through the window into a grid. Went back to the boiler and cranked it up to 3 bar and opened the valve.
Trickle, trickle, trickle.... Woosh! A worm of black sludge shot out and all was cleared, I opened the filling loop for 10 mins or so to flush that run out a bit.
Connected everything back up, stuck a calshot in (thanks Ray!) and had a very happy customer. Apparantly I was the third 'plumber' who had been out to it :rolleyes2:
