I'm renting a property with some friends, the boiler in the house is a Baxi 80E. On the top floor the radiatiors required bleeding (hot at bottom, cold at top), after having done so we checked the pressure on the meter and saw it was only 0.5 bar when the boilers running (0.7 when off). So i jumped onto google to look up how to do it, and found out about the filling loop. I came across this thread:

Which describes the same problems I'm having, and similarly I have no third tap on mine. Having obtained a copy of the boilers manual

Looking at page 11 fig 4a, (you might need to zoom), all the switches heating flow, cold water inlet and heating return are what I thought was the on position, if your facing the switch, the switch is parallel to the direction of the flexi tube which would suggest the valve is open. Are all three suppose to be like this? I presume the filling loop isn't operating as the valve switch which is suppose to be there isn't, instead something else is holding it closed.
To cut a long post short, how can i pressurise the system given these problems - (sorry for it being so long but wanted to give as much detail as possible).
