one; make sure both rad valves are open; two; if they are both open,you may need to balance the radiators in the house i.e. turn the valves down in the rest of the house so they are all half open.
If this doesn't work the pumpmay not be man enough, I hope this helps.

On the pump in the airing cupboard there is 3 speed settings....as you have added 2 more radiators, try switching up to speed 3 on the pump
