yes i set it to 1 bar when i put the heating on there is an initial drop in pressure and then it slowly starts to rise i have bled all the radiators is it possible that there could be air in the boiler if so how do i bleed the boiler

Are you overpressurising the boiler when you top it up - it should only be pressurised to 1 bar when system is cold. Make sure filling loop is completely closed and not passing water into system
