The plastic lever on the filling valve may be spinning on the shaft of the valve and not operating it, you may need to take it off with a small posi scredriver, and turn the valve with pliers or similar.
Yes I can hear water but the pressure gauge is not moving. Boiler comes on and ignites there is just no pressureOdd ,you said earlier that you could hear water going into the boiler . Is the boiler not firing up for hot water or central heating ?
Yes the boiler was working. I noticed when I had the heating on that the tops of my radiators were cold but bottom was hot so I turned the boiler off and waited a few hours to cool down then bled the radiators. When I have turned the boiler back on there is no pressureTap the pressure gauge a few times with your finger ,sometimes they can stick. Before you attempted to top up pressure ,was boiler not working ?
Yes, what I said earlier was if you’d touched any other valves, but you haven’t, so all good. As per Terry, close the filling loop valves.The gauge was stuck! Thank you so much! Do I leave all the valves open now?
It had gone up to three but I bled a couple of radiators again and have manage to get it down to oneYou close the filling loop obviously. What does gauge read ?
Well done! If you have that much gas in the rads there's a good chance your inhibitor is below strength. Well worth getting it checked and topped up to avoid future problems.It had gone up to three but I bled a couple of radiators again and have manage to get it down to one
