Help - its dripping through the ceiling!!!

Ok, let me push my luck a bit further. Say I want to at least replace the olive whatsits, maybe even the two valves. I have a mains pressured combi system with as far as I can see no tank in the loft as with a conventional system. So, first question, is how do I drain / refill the system? At my...
