Re piping in copper may get it to work but as mentioned above the cylinder isn't a gravity cylinder so no guarantee.

The pipe coming from the wall with the 90degree bend in! On the top of this pipe fit an air bleed valve might help they're about 90p-£5. If you say there were no hot water after doing the task and it was okay before and you've not touched controls

But it's a high efficiency one not designed for use on gravity primaries.the resistance of the coil can be too much to allow gravity circulation to take place.
id stick an old shower pump on the flexis

But seriously, turn boiler off, do not use and get it replaced in hard copper, at least it will be safe
Whoever told him to do it like that ? what a disaster , thought he was saving money , now he needs a suitable cylinder and correct pipe work, or change it to fully pumped system, whatever he decides he is better off getting someone in to sort it out, makes you wonder what else he has done !!
