Greenstar Ri No filling loop

[lukeadams]

Hi Everyone, hopeing someone can help

We have a Greenstar Ri Boiler and its lost pressure, pressure gauge on top of the boiler reads 0.6 bar and i know this should be around 1.5bar, there is no external filling loop near the boiler or in the hotpress, there is a pipe in the hotpress with a red dial on it labelled 'CF Heating' but when turned it doesnt do anything. In the attic there is the main water tank and a smaller tank above it with two pipes going into it. I have no idea how to re-pressurise the system and we have no heating or hot water. the boiler continues to run as if everything is normal but none of the radiators are heating and the hot water is coming out freezing no matter how long the boiler runs for. Also in the hotpress is the old immersion tank that we never use as its never worked since the day we moved in and there is a small red expansion vessel above the immersion tank.

none of the three red dials in the hotpress are able to fill the boiler.

Can anyone offer some advice please.

Apperantly the engineer had to order the part from the UK and we are currently expecting him to arrive today with the part to fit it not holding my breath though. Cant for the life of me understand why he is opting to replace a part in a 10 year old boiler rather than recommending to the council that its replaced. Boiler was commisioned into service on 29/03/2012.

...cos it's a perfectly serviceable boiler that just needs a relatively simple fix.
