We have just bled our radiators and expelled lots of air, but not there is O pressure on the boiler and no heating or hot water.

if i remember the filling loop is built in on this model so ....here we go !.... look up underneath boiler and ther are 2 small brass blocks about the size of oxo cube they will be to the rh side of boiler as your looking at it, in the middle of these "oxo's" you will see a slotted screw, open one (so its inline with pipewrok) and then the other at this point you will hear it filling and see pressure going up.....set to 1.5 bar and vent rads then re set to 1.5.....job done !
oxo's
