As being corgi has bugger-all to do with filling a boiler, I would
ring them back,but if you unwrapped the boiler, you should have the
install books

You don't tell us why you can't fill the boiler......
Normally there are two valves to open, connected at one end to the cold
water pipe, and the other to the CH flow or return pipe, or the fillig loop
may be built in to the boiler, which may require a special key to operate
the valves ( should be supplied ). Then when both valves are open watch
as the pressure rises to about 1.5 bar and turn off valves. Bleed air out of
radiators, turn filling loop valves back to open, pressurise to 1.5 bar,
close valves, bleed radiators etc until all air is gone.

Well, what exactly did you try and what happened when you tried?
Did you forget to install a filling loop? ;-)
We're rather short on clues here...

RAVENHEAT T24 BOILER, i phoned tech dept for

In any case, the parts of the system other than the boiler are not
reallt within their scope.

Which way does the arrow point on the fill loop double check
valve, towards the heating system or towards the detachable
fill loop?
If you take the detactable fill loop off, can you get any#
water out of the supply valve?
