If there is too much air in the top of the radiator sometimes it may be advantageous to remove the radiator cap (preferably when the motor is cool or very carefully if it is hot) and top it up with coolant or water. then replace the cap and top up the reservoir to the correct level.

Why are two radiators cold in an unvented water heater system These 2nd floor rads are cold when all the other radiators are working fine on the ground and 3rd floor They have been bled - no air?

There could be trapped air in the system. Turn off all rads on your ground and third floor and if needed one of the two on your second floor . This should force any trapped air into the rad and you can bleed it off. Good luck!!
