Hi. I am unable to repressurise my boiler after draining to remove some pipes. I have done this several times before it was moved into the loft. The guy who moved boiler is stumped and recons boiler is faulty. It's only 3 years old. Only a small amount of water enters boiler before it stops. Guage shows no reading and fault code is 118 or 119 low pressure (not home atm). Only 1 rad on system atm as replastering if this means anything Why won't it fill up? Any help appreciated
 
Can you post a photo of the filling loop? It could be the handle has rounded off. Are you bleeding the radiator too? Are the flow and return valves open?

Thanks for replying.
The radiator has no air.

Yes F&R both open. It could be as I said a rounded plastic head (try removing and turning with an adjustable spanner) or the system is too full and trapped air as only 1 rad.
 
Filling loop on the right way eg arrow pointing to the flexi on the right valve

Fixed now. Was as simple as opening the rad valves. Didn't think this would prevent the boiler from pressurising. Many thanks for your guidance 🙂
