ideal etype r980n

[timejumper]

I need to replace the bathroom radiator in my neighbours house. She has an ideal etype r980n which looks to be a thousand years old. I can't see a pressure gauge on the boiler. How do I increase the pressure in the system with the new radiator in place?

Many thanks

I think you should introduce her to the boiler scrappage scheme!

Why do you think you need to increase the pressure?

Thanks for getting back. Yes, hot water cylinder with two tanks. So I'll just fit the radiator and let it fill itself.

Thanks again
