Yes ,and all pipework around it
Sorry they're not great pics - I've a lot of shelving in the way..
First pic is on the right hand side, above the cylinder
Second is hard to make out but to the left, I believe this turns the hot water on or off in the bathroom
The rest are above and around the cylinder

No sign of a filling loop there. Do you have two loft tanks one small and one much larger by any chance ?

I do indeed. One large one and then a smaller one sort of attached to it. Does this mean it's a gravity fed system? Is there a way to add water into the system this way?

It sounds like you may have an open vented system,not sealed/ pressurised.
How are the two loft tanks connected to each other ?
If one is a feed and expansion cistern ,it feeds the boiler and central heating system with water.
How long have you lived at the property,and have you ever seen the boilers pressure gauge read 1 bar when the boiler is not in use ?
It's rather odd to have a pressure gauge on an open vented system though !

I'd need to go back up to check but what I do remember is once, the rads upstairs had no water in them. When i checked the smaller tank in the loft it was bone dry, I wiggled the stopcock a bit and it filled with water. I can see a pipe at the top of that one where overspill went down and about 15 mins later - I had water back on the rads.
I've lived here about 6 years, the boiler was installed literally just before I moved in. I don't recall seeing gauge go over 1, it's only now there's an issue i've really paid attention to it...

If you try bleeding all radiators to ensure they are full of water then your f&e tank isn't the issue with the boilers fault code. You would need an engineer to visit if boiler issues continue.
Thank you - at least now I can rule out any pressurization errors (and have learned what system I have)!
Probably time to call in an expert - thanks for your help!
My money would be on blocked condensate pipe/trap, or spark generator, you'll need a gas man in for those.
