Britony Combi 80 raising the pressure

[leemc]

I'm having trouble raising the pressure in my Britony Combi 80 combi boiler - simply because I can't figure it out. It's on about 0.2 at the minute and doesn't seem to be heating the radiators upstairs properly.

I've located what i presume is the filling loop, which has been installed above the boiler due to it's location, but there doesn't appear to be a value on either side so nothing to turn. (photos below)

If anyone has any suggestion that would be great as I'm getting quite desperate.

Thanks.

Sorry to Bump but anybody got any advice other than get a plumber?
I just don't want to turn the wrong thing to find a massive water jet shooting out on my kitchen floor.

Thanks

The pic on the bottom left is the water inlet valve the handle has come off so you will need an adjustable spanner to operate it, open it until the boiler pressure guage reads between 1 and 1.5 Bar then close again , closed is at 90 degrees to the pipe

Thanks Ian, appreciated.

It appears the valve has a screw hole which I assume the tap would go into. I'll take a look at turning it with a spanner.
