    Note that it takes you to the home page where they are making a plea not to call them as they are overwhelmed with requests due to the cold weather, however, if you click on Service and Repair (third heading from the left) then you can click on Boiler faq's.

    The levers in the picture are not to be touched, they are isolation valves.


    The filling loop for that system will be next to the cylinder. Find similar looking valves where the tank is, it may be only one.

    Providing all your radiators have been bled of air and you don't have automatic air vents on the rads you likely have a leak somewhere. If all the pipework, radiators and valves are fine then also look below the boiler itself for any water dripping.

    Then check the discharge pipe which is the one that goes from the boiler to the outside wall. That can also drip if the pressure release valve is not seated properly. When the boiler is working and hot - what pressure does it go to?

    Drops all the way to zero to a point it starts making a funny noise when turned on (like heating an empty pot).

    What pressure does it go to once you have topped up the pressure and run it for the first time? Also, what pressure are you pumping it up to in the first place?

    Have you looked at your discharge pipe on the outside wall for a drip?
