how on earth do you gas rate a boiler with aprepament meter in there are no reading that I can see, or am I missing some thing?

Is it the one with button a and b. IIRC button A is what you need. Although you will have to keep pressing it to refresh the reading.

Gas safe Bulletin TB 112 deals with this.
