Hi there,
Hope you guys can help! Been lurking for a while and you guys offer loads of knowledge and advice, but something I can't seem to find generally is the above boiler. I've been in the property for a month now (and it was NOT looked after. Gas man reckoned it hadnt been serviced since installation ~12 years ago) Anyways Ill add some images to show what I'm talking about. But the pressure on the front of the boiler when its not heating the house is always at 0. When hot water is running I cant say I've noticed in go up. When the central heating is on it reaches between 2 and 3. Now I know theres meant to be a hose type thing underneath but theres just a white knob which clicks when i turn it anti clockwise and doesnt seem to change anything and is too stiff to turn right. What am I looking at and how can i fix it?!?
Thanks guys!
