Your manual should show you where it is.
It wont tell you in the manual, your boiler does not have an internal filling loop it is external on the pipework, I have maked for you what I think is the filling loop valves but cant be sure if you post a close up pic of these valves I will be able to advise better, that is a god awfull installation though
Thank you so much for the reply. I will be able to provide a close up once I come off work.
I thought about the quality of installation as it was malfunctioning as the white pipe you see tied with zipties was not properly fasten to the outlet and it actually short-circuit a few times until i found out that it was dropping water into the basement on to exposed copper pipes. I have learnt my lesson and certainly will look for another plumber in the future.
If you have any advice on choosing a plumber, it will be very helpful. Currently I can only based on that a plumber is qualified as long as he has a certification which I heard is actually very difficult to get. Although this guideline has failed me this time.

The white pipe you speak of is the condensate pipe, the water dripping on to the copper pipes is acidic, you should make sure that the leak has been repaired and wash down the pipes that it was leaking onto as it can corrode copper pipe very quickly.
If you say where you are someone may be able to recommend someone that covers your area
This would not cause the boiler to cut out, the water pressure is too low , I guess you know that and asking how to add pressure, your boiler is a decent boiler but needs and experienced engineer that knows the boiler as they can be very temperamental at times
