Crazylegs: Hi Folks my heating broke last week and the plumber came and fixed it yesterday(problem with the Circuit board) but now the radiator in my sitting room wont heat up at all and ive checked its on and all the other bits. Any suggestions on what it might be and how to fix it?

Thats true .... id to get someone to do that to my radiator before .. dont ask me how to do it lol
have a feel of the little bit of pipe going into the bottom of it,
yeah , that sounds so wrong !!
yeah , that sounds so wrong !!
if its only one rad its 99% certain an air block and needs to be bled. make sure you have a bowl and some cloths to mop up water.

Hi A
You could Ring Boredguy. He helped Saoirse65 with a similar problem a while back.
open off the fitting and see have you water going to it first,if you have hot water going in , its an air lock you may bleed it , , the rad is full of air

Most likely an air lock, though sometimes caused by low pressure or debris inside the rad. If bleeding doesn't work, switch on the heating, wait 30 mins, then switch off the valve at every other rad in the house except for the non functioning one. This will increase the pressure, clearing the blockage and forcing hot water through. After that, switch the other rads back on.
Thanks everyone I will give it bash tomorrow with your suggestions

This lad is spot on
He should have checked everything and balanced the system before he left
Having given the matter much thought, the problem here is caused by the radiator not working. I suggest kicking it

He helped me too. I had an oil leak last year (right in the middle of all the snow!) and he gave great advice.
