No hot water after bleeding radiators

Also, how long would I leave the valve open

It stays open all the time , you F&E tank has a ball cock in similar to your Toilet cistern

Thank you! Okay, so I was trying to turn the valve all the way anti-clockwise and noticed water dripping. Is this normal or should I be worried?

can you hear water filling into the F&E tank as you open the stop cock ?

I fully turned the valve anti-clockwise until I could no more, and then turned it to a 1/4 clockwise. However, I cannot really hear much as I am still hearing the same noises from the boiler from earlier on. I tried to upload a video of the noise but I am unable to

I am also a bit concerned as the valve seems to be leaking dribble of water

It could be that the valve was dripping and someone has closed it to stop it dripping and that has led to the tank running dry, wrap an old towel round it to catch the drips and leave 10 mins then close it again,

Thank you! Do I fully turn the valve clockwise till I cannot? Do you know how long I should roughly wait before checking for hot water and the heating?

If it is filling about 10 mins should do it, you would be best switching the heating and HW off then switch it back on after filling

After doing everything and turning everything back on, on the ideal boiler I have the fault code with fd which means no water flow.

Any ideas on how to solve this ?

Reset the boiler

Reset the boiler

I have tried resetting it but it is not working and the thermostat for the central heating has been shut down by itself. I've also turned the valve clockwise again fully. Thanks for all the help, but I wonder if I should just call an engineer in haha
