    Our boiler doesn't seem to be working right at the moment - turns on for 5 seconds or so, lights, can hear some water pumping, then it shuts off - often with a red-light appearing. I noticed the pressure is quite low (0.5ish) but it's always been hovering around this. Anyway, from reading around a bit and after looking at the manual, I saw mention how users can top-up pressure via a flexible hose. Thing is, there's no flexible hose to be found near the boiler (have looked quite hard!) - some pipes from the wall (mains pipes, presumably) go straight in.

    There's a few red handles on some pipes in the hot press, but I'm not really sure what I should be looking for. If it's just something simple like topping up the system it would be good, since it'll be a few days before our Gas Engineer has time to take a look.

    Any help appreciated! I'll add a few pictures if that's helpful.

    Usually on the Vokera, if the pressure is too low then the boiler will appear as if it's dead on the wall. I suspect you're problem will be an easy fix for your gas engineer. Shouldn't cost too much hopefully

    If when resetting the boiler, you listen carefully and hear a single click (absolutely nothing else) then it's a water pressure issue.
    What you are describing, maybe a simple enough issue, but doesn't sound like water pressure (to me) you will need a good RGI out to repair/service to solve our issue I'm afraid (as it's internal to the boiler)
