Grant boiler. Oil heating. Low pressure

Hi all! Not sure if this is the best place to put this? We have moved and I'm at my wits end with this boiler. It's a gran 90/120 boiler and the pressure for hor water is so low. I have bled all the radiators and it's not related to that.

I have googled and googled and everything tells me to.turn the 2 black valves to up the pressure then tur them back. It when I do this, nothing happens. Estate agents are closed. We just need a hot shower without the water turning off every 2 minutes. I can't wash up. I can't afford a plumber myself as we have just moved in!

Hoping someone can help or guide. May e I'm doing it wrong. How do.yky put the pressure up
?

I am not a plumber but if you bleed the rads then you’ll drop the pressure. You need to put more pressure (I.e. water) back in to the system to rectify this. There’s usually a little tap on the pipes that run to the boiler itself. I had to do it myself in the past and would top it up until it reached 2.5bars.

Ffs, just realised it’s an old thread 🙈

Thanks all. Turned out to be a broken inner steel pipe. All fixed now! We also rent so couldn't have made any changes.
