Now this is interesting, I shut down all the downstairs rads apart from the 2 cold ones and it still didn't force the heat in , so it's like the upstairs ones are the ones affecting the cold rads ?
Could be wrong LOL

I think I'd be removing the two rads and giving them an inspection, and flush out with a hose pipe.

I think you have it there as in bypassing the ones with the resistance to flow
I do think it's a flow thing and not a blockage I'm almost back at square one but got the hall one a little hotter
Front room is pants and the others so hot you can't touch em !
Done all the lock shields, all the hot one screwed in at least halfway
A flow thing and a blockage are the same thing if you have sludge in the pipes to the cold rads the water will take an easier route find the down stair manifold and find where it goes from hot to cold and there is your blockage
