You need to bleed them starting from the first rad near the boiler to the last once in the line before it returns back to the boiler, its pointless bleeding one only.

i would seriously try the slipper/shoe thing first the little pins in there can become stubborn little buggers when they havent been on for a while

Youll need to remove the trv head and don't pull the trv pin lol tapping it with a screwdriver handle is fine. Also it could have a blockage

You might have to top up your boiler pressure too if you bleed all the raditors.

Also if it's not a combi then you need the heating off so the pumps not running to bleed it. Start singing "I want a Worcester greenstar" when your mums bit on the side comes
