No reason why it would need replaced for that fault, easily fixed
All fixed. The tube cleared with some garden wire thankfully.
Got to two bar at maximum which was just under one bar cold. Prv didn't do a single drip so connected the pipe which connects it outside.
Going to give it a few days.. if all is well I will close off a towel rail at both ends, drain it down and add inhibitor rather then a full drain down of the system.
I got a feeling the gauge got blocked due to full drain down in first place. I might be wrong.
Thanks for all the advise Ian.
