No Hot water from boiler

[Russgood]

Hi All,
looking for some help.
I have an old Back Boiler behind a fireplace in the dining room.
I can get hot water through my radiators but not through the taps when i use my boiler settings but I have to put my immersion on to get hot water to my taps (upstairs and downstairs).
The control valve next to my hot water cylinder is only 2 port and seems to work when I move the little lever on the side it returns to its original position.
I cannot find my pump as it is not near the cylinder.
Could the problem be anything to do with the small Feed/Expansion tank in the loft which seems to be empty.

I would appreciate any help or suggestions from anyone.
Many thanks

VERY likely!

Wiggle the ball valve and see if it fills.

If not then fill with a bucket and see if that gets it going. You only need 100 mm deep,

You may be able to latch the motor valve open if that is needed.

However, you seem to be very slow to get on the job!
