How to top up pressure on boiler, instructions no help

[HERTS P&D]

It is and I've asked the landlord how to do it but he doesn't know if that's why you're asking

Because you have a cheapskate landlord.

As @FiremanT , total bodge job, dont touch the black diamond as you call it and 1/4 turn on the screw of the valve nearest to the wall with the blue hose, then close again once the pressure reads correct

I must be having a bad day ,what screw Ian ? Looks like a non return valve ??
Or are you referring to the higher valve that will need a spanner ?

Yes you are right mate, thought it was a ball-ofix but on second look, its a washing machine vave with a snapped off handle, will indeed need a spanner or grips, real pro setup, havent a clue what the gate valve is supposed to do

Ok is it the small brass Bit that's sitting on the top? That won't budge.

it is a washing machine tap with the handle snapped off, use a small adjustable or grips or a small spanner, it will move

It's ok. My landlord is getting someone round to look at it and sort it out. Thanks everyone for your replies, really appreciated.
