What's your mains water pressure there?

When I put new pipes in in bathroom to shower I checked pressure and it showed just over 3 bar...the system was ok a while back but now I can't get the pressure to 1.5 bar ?

Have you actually tried running the boiler at 1 bar?

And I meant what's the pressure now?

yes tried running boiler with no joy, read the manual and all signs point to not enough pressure, I can hear the water come through filling loop but like I say once it gets to just below the 1 bar, it wont fill any further.

Was that static or dynamic pressure? Sounds like a low mains pressure issue to me. You may need someone with a pump to raise the pressure. You could try topping up at night when there is less load on the water main. The pressure can vary enormously at different iMessage of the dy.

static, one thing I noticed, on one of radiators upstairs (double radiator) when I bled it, air was jetting out water ?
