Can anyone help?
I've just bought a flat with an ELM Leblanc combi-boiler (but haven't got a manual). I understand from the web-forums that I've visited that this should run at about 1-1.5 bar. The gauge on my boiler is currently reading 0.5 bar.
How do I repressurise the system?
I've found a lever at the back/underside of the boiler which appears to be fitted to a water pipe. Is this what I need to operate to carry out the repressurisation?
Also, a number of radiators in the flat are only hot in the bottom half. Presumably I need to "bleed" these to get rid of trapped air??
Finally, the radiator which I believe to be furthest from the boiler does not heat up at all. There does not seem to be any warmth in the pipes leading to this radiator either so I presume that the problem does not stem from the valves at either end being turned off.
