I have an 8 year old Potterton HE Gold combi boiler losing pressure.
I have isolated the central heating to leave just water heating and it is fine. As soon as the central heating is introduced the pressure drops to zero within an hour. I have had floor boards etc up but cannot find a leak anywhere. It was working fine until I removed a couple of radiators to decorate.
Any suggestions?
Cheers

Do you mean you isolated the flow and return or just not use the heating no when the heating is on the pressure is lost?
 
Isolated the flow and return
Then you have a leak or there’s potential trapped air. Top the pressure to approx 2-2.5 bar and check all rads and maybe lift some more floorboards, especially near the ones removed for decoration.
