Repressurised the boiler. Turned the square know until water stopped entering
the boiler. Turned key to unlock position pulled out and water is running
freely gushing out of the hole. Bunged key back in but don't know what to do
now! Pressure is currently at 2 but not increasing.

There is normally a second small square ended tap near where the key
goes in. That needs to be turned off before removing the key.

IIRC the usual procedure (not recommended by WB) is to leave the pressure
loop turned on (another tap) and the plastic key permanently in place.

Yes, I was told by the installer not to remove the key. I am
beginning to see why.
