Morning. just been over and checked the system. don't believe it....the fault has disappeared over night, must have been the fairies! All I can presume is that it is a small fault and all my prodding about has jarred something back to life. If it ain't broke I cant fix it! I will keep a watching...

Yes sorry to be misleading. 2 motorised valves. I will do the wire removals in morning and check out the boiler codes properly and report back. Thanks to you all. Have a nice evening :)

The valves themselves aren't stuck moved them manually earlier and after turning the electrics off whilst working on various bits, when you turn back on and put the h/w and c/h to on the valves operate ok. Thats whats making be suspect the boiler controls themselves?

The 3 way valves are in the boiler room. Quite happy replacing them if required. If I take the wiring to the valves (one at a time) out of the system and the boiler not longer fires up do you think I will be able to identify the faulty part that way?

I'll take some more carefull numbers off the plate in the morning. Not going to disturd the mother in law just as Strictly is coming on. My life wont be worth living!

Thanks for the reply....All I have to do now is find my micro switch and unstick it! Any clues as to its location. Update on boiler model (sorry I miissed a couple of letters) Stelrad Ideal WLx RS60. Thanks again for the help.

Hi helpful people. Mother in laws boiler has developed mind of its own. Revealed the problem when bathroom rad became very hot despite all controls in off position. Checked boiler and found that despite controls in 'off' boiler would ignite when boiler stat was turned up. Checked the frost stat...
