Nah. He wanted an extra £100 to fit it as well. I would have paid that but I had a feeling he was ripping me on the part.

Cheers for that. Thats a big difference compared to the £165 + vat that the boiler man quoted! Is there any real difference between a Giannoni valve and the 'proper' Ravenheat one?

Hi folks, The diverter valve is playing up on my Ravenheat 820 boiler. What I want to know is can I just replace this with a standard valve? My plumber mate told me to look on screwfix. They have one http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?cId=102632&ts=68296&id=53314# but I...

Thanks for the advice. I will get it done but not with this guy. He wants £300 all in and I thought that was rough. I will pay the going rate but I want to give my cash to a decent bloke not a skank. Cheers Gents

Cheers again. Can't thank you enough. Now I don't need to hassle my mate or stump up the cash for an electrician! I will use this site for all DIY stuff in future. !!!!!!!!

Thanks very much. That looks like the circuit I was seeing yesterday!!!!! Cheers. I take it the 'Volt free contacts' are the switch bits on the thermostat? Does it matter which way round they go? Thanks for your help. This site is magic. Cheers again. :D

Hello folks, I have inherited a Ravenheat 820 combi boiler with no room thermostat wired to it. I just bought a Drayton Digistat RF3 (which cost me a small fortune!) and can't work out where to wire it into the boiler. I have an electrician friend who will help but I need to get the wiring...
