Removed radiator now Combined Boiler is reading zero bar

[Mattf]

Need help please. I removed a radiator yesterday as I was decorating, watched a YouTube video on how to do it. All went well no leaks, did the wallpapering and put it back on. I switched on the heating to test and bled the radiator as the heating was on. Radiator filled up and no leaks. Really proud of myself as I'm not blessed in the DIY Dept. Then when I went to turn off the heating, Combi Boiler in kitchen, the dial for the Bar pressure read zero. It moved slightly when the heating was on but once turned off went to zero. Panic set in so I went on YouTube to seek help. We only moved in last month and we have no instructions for the boiler. After searching I think I found it to be a Ferroli Falcon Combi possibly a discontinued Modena 80 or 120. Reason I think I know is I had to look for instructions on how to use the clock to work the heating. Anyway found a couple of vids on YouTube but each one had simple black levers or knobs that you opened one then the other to repressurise the boiler. Of course my life isn't that simple and no black levers or knobs on the pipes underneath. Now we have no heating or hot water as I'm scared to switch it on. I tried looking up instructions for the boiler, that is if I think I'm right on the make and model, and "Filling" the tank involves using a filling loop??? I don't have one and again after watching a few YouTube video cannot see where you would connect the hose anyway. Help is needed please. Thanks.

Can you see anything looks like a silver braided hose under the boiler?

It may be behind a kitchen unit because there's evil buggers out there.

Keep looking for the filling loop. You will have one on the pipework or under the boiler.

I found the filling loop hidden behind the kitchen cupboard underneath the boiler. Repressurised to 1.5 bar and put the heating on. It's now reading over 2 bar with heating on. Thanks croppie you saved us a few quid on call out charges for a plumber and saved me from an ear bashing. Brilliant forum. Many thanks. Matt.

Thanks Chalked. You are croppie were both spot on. Filling loop hidden behind cupboard. Repressurised to 1.5 bar and heating back on. Thank god as it was cold indoors. Many thanks, Matt.
