Many thanks for that pointer Ian, I will investigate that tomorrow. Luckily I can still get heat in the meantime by connecting the live and switched live terminals together although it's a bit fiddly.

Hi, many thanks for the reply. There's 4 wires- live, neutral, switched live and earth. I didn't really have to change these as it's exactly the same for the Drayton RTS1 and the new one, RTS2 (which is why I bought this model). Like I say, I can bypass the room thermostat completely by...

Hi, it's a boiler.

Hi, I need to isolate an electrical appliance from the mains supply before doing a bit of fault -finding. There is a live wire in the mains cable feeding the appliance. I obviously need to disconnect this live wire from the appliance's terminal box. But there is a switched live also. Does this...
