    Mira 722 mixer tap - not mixing

    Nope. Coil turns a barrel inside to regulate temp, if you remove coil, no connection between temp control and barrel. You will be able to get instructions online or if you order a seal pack. Also seeing it is such an old post you should post a new thread to save digging up a 15 year post, Can't...

    Grant Vortex PCB or something else

    Looks quite a new Vortex so could be under Grant warranty if a boiler fault. There have been issues with PCBs on newer grants having replaced a few now under warranty so worth checking with them.
