Thanks all, sorted. Ensured I unplugged wires from each block one time, tape them together and then next one and so on. It was then easy to connect them in connector strip and then connected the new lamp.

I may have to call an electrician as the ceiling rose needs to come off for the new clamp to be screwed to the ceiling and also cover the wires/hole. If I get rid of the ceiling rose, I have no idea which cables connect where in the junction box. Thanks for the suggestion, much appreciated

lol :giggle: First time opened this since I bought the house 4 years ago.

Thanks everyone, managed to get it all working. Tado app was very helpful in showing which wires connect where for the boiler model, so that helped. For anyone interested, all it needed was 3 cables from Tado to be connected to ST10 in the boiler. Tado by geeksy posted 20 Dec 2021 at 3:57 PM

I have to admit, I panicked. Reading further and watching youtube, disconnecting existing Salus receiver looks fine to do. Wiring the new receiver is where I am still unsure, but I will continue to read more and then decide if an engineer is needed. Thanks everyone, will let you know how I get...

Yes, as you rightly said, I can still leave it on the front (disconnected) or buy a face plate.

Thanks @CBW and @ianmcd . Understood, will call a gas engineer. Really appreciate the quick reply and advise.
