VerifiedHi, my name is***** have been in the plumbing & heating trade for approximately 15 years. Your boiler is getting old but this is no reason for it not to work. I presume your engineers have checked the pump is working ok,
Try turning off all the radiators apart from 2 when they get really hot open up another 2 and shut the hot ones down do that until you know all the radiators get hot.
Then you can open them up one at a time and see if that helps with the flow around the system.
