How do I repressurise a Vokera Mynute HE

[duffy]

Hello, I've just purchased a property that is installed with a Vokera Mynute HE and, due to a small drip, the pressure has dropped. Does anybody know how I can repressurise it? It's currently sitting below 0.5

is the small drip sorted/ wheres it dripping from?

It's coming from a valve under the boiler. If the photo has uploaded properly, it's the one on the left of the picture. Edit: Sorry, it's the one on the right. Photo re-uploaded. Red shows leaking valve. Blue is the small drip.

Valve that is leaking needs replacing ! Vokera part No 1789, as for toping up pressure should be a silver braided hose some where on system, under boiler, look around airing cupboard small red expansion tank , put photo on of airing cupboard

Thanks JTSPlumbing, I got the pressure topped up as you advised. I guess I'll need to call out an expert to replace the valve.

You could do it yourself as you don't have to remove casing, will have to drain system first, should be a straight forward swap ! but looking at photo it could be a bit awkward to get to on your boiler, Remember if you DIY don't forget to add a good quality inhibitor , Why is it always the most difficult item to replace that causes the problem ???
