you might have low water pressure...dial next to controls..should read approx one and half bars...two taps open to increase pressure....only do this if the dial is at zero though

does that fill it with water??...mine needs to be re filled with water to increase the pressure...it has 2 taps and I have to open them both and then I can hear the water filling up the boiler and I can see the dial rising back to 2 or 2 bars

yep, the air came out then a bit of water so i stopped?? Do i need to do more? The bar hasn't risen at all???

that just sounds like you are bleeding the radiators...thats different to increasing the pressure in the boiler...you need to go to your boiler instructions and have a look at the section on increasing pressure...this might help as well
