Right, the reason I wanted to re-pressurise the system was because the two radiators at the top of the house were not working properly (hot at the bottom but cold at the top), I was advised that this was due to low pressure and indeed the pressure gauge on the boiler was about 0.1-0.5.
So I re-repressurised the boiler which is now reading 1-1.5, but now none of the radiators heat up. I've bled all the radiators so that no air is trapped (when turning the key water spits out immediately, indicating no air is trapped). The weird thing is, the water still gets hot: when I turn on the hot tap, the boiler's indicator light turns on and the water gets hot. But, when I switch the thermostat to on (which normally fires up the boiler), the boiler does nothing, the pilot light doesn't come on and so the radiators are stone cold.
I really have no idea what to do now, if anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.
