Ideal Logic System 24 Filling Loop Location?

[SwagBag]

Hi.
Apologies if this has been asked - can't find if it has though?
I have a Ideal Logic System 24 boiler - giving me the L2 error. One of the reasons i read was it could be low pressure and indeed, my gauge is at 0. If I try to use the boiler it will increase but usually to about 0.8. From what I've read, I should have between 1 and 2 bars.

I think (or hope) what I need to do, is add more pressure into the system. However, I cannot find the filling loop for this boiler. One the underside I have 3 pipes, CH Flow (the gauge is part of this) with a black key, the gas inlet with a yellow key and CH return with a black key. As I understand it - a filling loop connects the mains water to the CH return and you're meant to let water into the system. This is the part where I'm stuck, if the water needs to go into the CH Return - where do I attach the hose (which I also don't have but I assume I can buy one)?

I looked in my airing cupboard and can't find anything obvious.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Show us some pictures of around your hot water cylinders pipework. Your filling loop would look like a flexible ,silver coloured,braided hose.

My ideal boiler requires both black keys open to recharge pressure .(mine is a combo though)
“If you’re getting the L2 fault code from your Ideal Logic boiler, it’s possible that the gas valve is stuck in the partially closed position when it should be fully open. It’s, therefore, not keeping up with the gas demand of the burner, and the flame is going to go out.”
L2 error it seems is not pressure related .

This is a system boiler with three pipes - the fill loop could be anywhere on the system where there is also a cold water feed nearby.
Just seen your edit, yes the keys would be relevant for a combi.

See my re edit .

Had similar problem with my boiler , needed condense trap cleaning and a new ignition unit .
But you probably need a service engineer .

Low pressure error is L1 on ideal .

This is the underside of the boiler..

I checked the gas and it seems ok, I can hear it going in. I know L2 is a burner issue but I also read that low pressure in the system also causes the burner to not stay lit. I'm trying to eliminate all potential reasons as to why it's not working before I start looking into replacing components..

I figured there's a loop somewhere but I'm unsure on how to find it or even what I'm looking for. I can't find anything with a silver braided hose..

You would have a different error code if that was the case .

What’s below boiler? You should find filling loop within sight of the gauge .

As above, are the pipes going into boxing behind the boiler and do they head up, or down?
Where does the copper pipe directly to the right of the condensate pipe connect to?

There's literally nothing else there - everything is in the picture. Next stop are my sockets

Pics of the boiler are irrelevant

Both pipes goes through the wall and outside, which I assume is the condense pipe and maybe a waste pipe? The copper pipe just leads into the air outside, the other goes down into an external pipe and looks like down a drain..
