also, just to add, you should never use the 3bar safety valve to lower pressure, at some stage it will not reseat and will dripp forever until replaced!

either use the boiler drain valve or bleed from a radiator

The filling loop valve (that allows you to pressurise the system after maintenance) isn't fully closing on this one, I feel. Check that its fully turned off.
