It's taken 53 posts and we still don't know if the system is gravity fed or mains fed.My guess is that it's mains fed due to the fact someone fitted a 332 proper stopcock on if it was gravity i would expect to see a 367.A 332 would cost about twice the price of a fill loop.So to sum it up there is a few possible problems its mains fed and its not topped ip enough.the non return is jammed, the boiler valves are turned off or lastly the flow switch needs looking at as a said this is post 54 and that's where we are

I genuinely don't know if it's mains fed or otherwise, I'm actually just banging on things at this stage... I'll try leaving the brass valve on for a bit and see what happens.

i know rob its painful.the stopcock coulda been the only valve in plumbers toolbox! op could follow it to its source in attic with his camera to clarify.in one of first posts op u have pic of valves under boiler and they are in open position.are they still in this position? as they should be.also have u had any work done on heating recently?

WHat am I looking for in the attic? Do you think there's another valve upstairs? Sorry I can't take any photos today- someones gone off with my camera...

Your looking to follow the pipe with the valve in the hot press into the attic and see where it's connected.We want to establish if it connected to a tank or an other pipe.

I have my uncle over now to see if he can fix it. Thanks so much for your help anyway! You really went out of your way and I very much appreciate it! Thanks to everyone!
Hopefully you won't get another post from me again about this damn boiler...

u get sorted???

The second picture that was posted on the first page shows the boiler isolation valve closed. Chances are the other valve is closed and the system is probably at 4 bar now everywhere except for the boiler!!!

dtp,that is actually the open position with those valves,i know it looks like they are closed but that is the way thyey are

Yeah I got a plumber... I wasn't in when he came but he's apparently coming back tomorrow or sometime (PLEASE MAKE IT SOON) with some parts...
So it looks like I'll be in the cold for at least another day.
