Have bled my radiators today, respressurised the system to 1.25 bar but now I **** unable to get heating or hot water - red flashing light (fault on pump or low pressure). As I said I have reset the pressure and don't think there is a fault, it was working yesterday!

If a Baxi Combi 105e has no heating or hot water after bleeding the radiators and repressurizing the system, possible causes include:
1. Airlock in the System – Air trapped in the boiler or pipes can prevent proper circulation. 2. Low System Pressure – Ensure the pressure is at the correct level after repressurization. 3. Safety Thermostat Activation – If the boiler overheated, the safety thermostat may have shut it down. Reset it by turning the selector fully anti-clockwise to the reset position. 4. Flame Failure – If the flame failure light is on, the boiler may not be igniting properly, requiring service. 5. Air Flow Monitor Issue – If the air pressure sensing device detects a problem with the flue system, the boiler may not operate.
If these checks do not resolve the issue, contacting a service engineer is recommended.
