Range Tribune HE - No Pressure help

[jamesdpmullan1985]

ok, so we are moving house this weekend and pulled a nail out of the wall thats been there for two years only to notice a leak coming through.

Water off and drained in radiators - leak fixed now trying to pressurize system which is showing 0 bar.

Tried opening valves on flexi hose - bottom one open however when opening top valve, a leak comes from the thread of the pipe - cannot open a little without this leak.

How do i get pressure back in and why is this leaking when opening the valve - pics added.

help appreciated!

Assuming it's the flexible one that's leaking, you either....


Chance it and catch the water whilst you fill. ?

Take the flexi off and bodge some ptfe over the knackered o ring.

Change the flexi.

where the flexi goes up and then back down on the third pic - there is a valve on other side on the black knob - when i turn this on, the leak appears around the nut -

is it ok for the leak if i try and fill up then? how long would it take to fill?

the whole system is only about 2 years old - surely it cant be knackered already?

Copper pipe end or flexi end?

 

[jamesdpmullan1985]

flexi end.

just filled upto 1 bar however slowly reducing - i had a hole in a pipe which i temporarily stuck nail back into - next to no leak however still reducing in pressure. the black open view pipe is trickling water
