Please HELP ME! White key on Greenstar is not my friend!

[Sam Hixon]

I'm really sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place I haven't a clue to be honest but came across this site as I was trying and failing to fix boiler and you guys seemed so helpful!

Right I have a greenstar 28i junior
I followed everything you guys said.
Only thing is I moved in ... 4 months ago? And obviously the boiler was already there. This is my first home and I'm just clueless!
My pressure gauge was at 0 so I thought how hard can this be?!
There was no bottom plate on the boiler and the key was already in place so I was already a little threw
I turned it a quarter turn and the little white knob would not budge!
So I got a screwdriver and turned it that way.
It turned, it made the hiss, the pressure went up.
Well as it got to 1 it started firing up and scared me so i turned it off but carried on turning pressure to 1.5
and obviously it fired up so it had done the job! I was chuffed.
THEN i turned the white knob back and the white key had decided that not only would it not come out but that it would just continuously turn.
Pretty sure its meant to stop? So I just left it where I thought I had found it earlier. Turned on the boiler and now it won't fire up!!!
I honestly don't know what went wrong but I've got a strong feeling it's that darn white key!!!!!
Please help! Would love me some heat soon!
Thank you in advance!

Ok, so I'm really sorry. So my rads are now boiling which is good!
But it's stopped making a noise does that mean they are gonna go cold again soon but more importantly the dial has gone to 2! I thought it was meant to decrease! I don't want it to keep rising! I'm so sorry I am THAT dumb.
If I gather all the information I need now you will never see my name on a forum again haha

Boiler is up to temperature.it will come on as the rads cool down. Pressure will rise as it gets hot then drop as it cools. All sounds good to me!

I think you attitude is great

 

[Sam Hixon]

I think you need more g+t
Right so everything seems in order!
I can now officially increase the pressure on my boiler and know what to do if the rads don't come on!
If that's not an independent woman I don't know what is haha
Thanks again! XXXXXXXXX
