No hot water!

Options
Just about to have a shower but no hot water!
No hot water from taps too.
I have a Worcester bosch 230
Didn't move in long ago so no cover
I have not changed any settings
Pressure bar is 0.5 - I don't know what it was before since I didn't take notice - is it too low?
What to do?

    Part of the Furniture 10,000 Posts Name Dropper Combo Breaker
    Google for boiler name model + user manual and see what that says the pressure should be, if it's too low, follow recommendation in manual.

    See if manual has a troubleshooting guide.

    I have increased pressure as per utube vid
    Still no hot water
    Read it may be divertor valve

    if the heating does work, then chances are it will be the diverter valve, get a gas safe engineer to quote for a repair, but make sure you check he will quote for free.

    So after I increased pressure to near 2 (too high?), I called couple mybuilder guys. One suggested reset switch. I did that and it finally worked. I wonder what caused this? Hopefully doesn't happen soon but it saved me 2 bob
