Your missing two black levers (like washing machine valves) have you got a set of pliers ?
 
Hi Shaun,
I do. Which part of the boiler should I toucan, please?

Many thanks.

The flex pipe either end should be a brass tail sticking out (silver valves that the flex is attached to)

There's two flats on the brass tail, inline with the pipe open and shut is across like in your pic

Open the least accessible one first (already might be open hard to see)

Then open the other one slowly once you reach about 1-1.25 bar cold close the valves
 
All sorted ??

Don't forget to close one or both of them :D
 
I'll let you know once I have found the courage to do it. I'm terrible at such jobs :-(

Can anyone help me identify which tap/connection it is to top up the system as the level has dropped quite a way below the red marker for the cold fill pressure on the gauge? Boiler was installed approx. 2014. I've looked in the manual & online but can't find anything. Many thanks
