New flat - can't have a shower

[Clusters]

Hi there, I'm a newbie!

I woud imagine that this question has been asked before but there were extra bits of info I wanted to include that may alter the outcome!

Basically, I have just bought a grounf floor flat, (1930s build I think) it has a combi boiler in the kitchen. We turned this off, and drained the system to do some plumbing work and electrics. It is back on now and I have hot water in the both the sink and bath in the bathroom but the shower barely dribbles hot water. It will pump out the cold quite well, so I don't think it is a shower head blockage. It's a standard mixer shower, not electric.

I am desperate to get it working- any ideas?

(also, i have to run the hot water taps for about 3mins before i get hot water)

HELP!!

What is the pressure on your boiler

Should be around 1 bar

I don't know, will have to check tonight when I get home. I'm not too clued up on boilers I'm afraid

Right, the bar pressure is 0 which would explain a lot. We are currently waiting for a radiator to be put back on the wall (as it has been moved) The pipes to it are not leaking but I wondered if this could make the pressure drop?

How would I get that pressure back up?

Should be a filling loop just below the boiler.
