First of all it's an old reg about leaving the loop disconnected. Now it should be left connected.
Could you take a pic and post on here of the valve your having problems finding as on the 824 there is either built in loop or an external one.

Anything like that?

yes mate that looks like it
...i've took a dodgey photo.....taken by pointing the camera blind
you can see in the photo the filling loop has been unscrewed from the boiler and now has a 15mm isolting valve and hose fitted to it by me (going to the sink for now).
regarding the valve/filling loop.........even if it has to be connected......for the water to fill... the valve must just be a valve?........
so in theory if a 15mm isolating valve was fitted between the filling loop and the boiler and turned off the leaking would stop......and when the boiler needed to be re-filled to the 1 ish bar the added 15mm isolating valve could be turned on?
cheers
