Hi Guys, I have a job changing 6 rads. The system is a Combi, and I've never done this on a combi before. I gather that a drain down is necessary (no F&E tank to bung) so what do I need to shut off water-wise at the boiler (power - yes I know)?

There will (may) be a filling loop which looks like a flexi with a washing maching connector attatched to the boiler . Turn this off and bleed the highest rad then drain down.
 
if your system is installed well, you should have a drain valve, or radiator with in bujilt drain off on your lowest point.
it will take ages to do it just by the bleed valves!!

the filling loop should already be turned off and disconected
