    its just air. needs to be bled. sounds like a towel rail... vent is usually on the top right. just open it slightly til u get water then close it.

    If it's a Radiator sometimes the Air bleed valve is at the back as you look at it. You will need a Bleed Key from any hardware store about 2 to 3 Euro

    bleed it again, if it full and the rad is turned on and still not heating close all the other rads that are heating. does it heat now?

    You may have a sealed heating system, if so it may need to be repressurised using the fillvalve usualy located in the hotpress or near the boiler
