Let's just go back to the first post.

If the rad's hot at the bottom and cold at the top, then the rad's gotta be blocked. That's why turning on the heater's helping - because you're adding in a second radiator, effectively. The 'stat must be opening, else the bottom wouldn't be getting hot.

Flushing & reverse-flushing might help, but it's probably time to replace it.
