Ariston Boiler E 02 code, loss of pressure
Discussion
my fking boiler is playing up.. its fine heating water, but when it comes to the rads it throws up E 02, which i read is loss of pressure.. no problem i thought ill just pump more water into the system..
but
whichever combination of the two taps from the water in and the rad system i cannot get the pressure valve to move.
any ideas?

Turn them both parallel with the valve bodies and play about with the braided hose, they usually kink and restrict the flow of water.
nada no worky... maybe ill replace the hose tomorrow.. there is water coming out the right side as if you turn the little thingy it sprays out..
its on half a bar... on the edge of red and blue..
Non return valve on the left may be knackered in that case if the right hand valve is working. Personally I'd install an external filling link, those inbuilt ones are awful. Looks like it used to have one before, judging by the valve on the cold main.
I've used the outside tap to repressurise through a drain off valve before in desperate times.
ETA: Have you checked the valve spindle are moving and not just the plastic handles? They sometimes goes soft and move around the spindles.
