Neither. Firstly, go round and measure and record the temperature drop
across *every* radiator.

You will need a non-contact IR thermometer to be
able to do this is a reasonable time.

Angela, If you haven't got one you can get tolerable results simply by
following the procedure, but simply turning each LSV until the flow is
*very* hot to the touch and the return feels almost as hot. In fact that
is probably the best way to get an initial balance, before fine tuning
with a thermometer.
