    The yellow valve is the gas connection.

    When fitted properly, the valve is open when the handle is parallel to the pipe, and it looks as if that is the case here.

    Now pressurise the system! I'd go with the 1.5 to 2 bar idea, even though the gauge on the boiler suggests that up to 3 bar is okay.

    Up to 3 bar is not "ok" 3bar is the safety valves lifting point , 1 bar cold is sufficient , low water pressure switch comes into play below 0.5 .

    the highest it has hit is 1.5 bar

    Well that's normal , if you have it at 1 cold and it's going up as far as 3 during operation then there is a problem with the expansion vessel. Between 1 and 2 during operation is correct

    Cheers for that,hopefully it doesn't break down due to pressure problems anymore though
