This problem has been resolved.

Could anyone help a complete novice out with a problem he's having with the above boiler?
Bled the radiator in the bedroom and now the pressure gauge on the boiler is reading 0 bar and doesn't want to fire up.
No central heating or hot water but when the water / heating is turned on there is hum from the device which may or may not be the fan and when the hot taps are turned on it sounds like it should fire but doesn't.

Any help would be appreciated

re pressurise the boiler, dear boy.

There should be a tap and a link pipe that you can turn on
somewhere..may need reconnecting.

The system needs repressurising, as bleeding the air out of the
radiators has reduced the pressure below the safe limit set by the
maker. The problem may be that the air was in the expansion vessel and
has now migrated into the heating system through a ruptured diaphragm.
This means the expansion vessel has failed.

Someone will no doubt have all the details to hand. Or, if he's not
confident about identifying the various bits, it's about due for a
service by a qualified guy anyway...

And don't be tempted to leave it open; there should be a pressure gauge
or possibly a digital display on the boiler. Pressurise it to just over
the minimum (because the pressure will also rise as it heats up, and you
don't want to lift the relief valve).
