    Honeywell look a lot more expensive, this thing was only £27 :) Moderator's note some rude and unhelpful posts have been removed and the thread locked

    Swapping that will scare me more. The timer stopped working after a valve was replaced on the hot water cylinder, no combi here. This way I get a more accurate temperature and get my timer back.

    I think so mate. Might upgrade for slightly better feel in quality to Drayton Digistat +3. What do you reckon?

    Nope no little flame symbol. It shows the current room temp, I think, but as it doesn't turn on you can't use up and down to change the temp.

    Checked instructions still no joy, what are the chances of it being faulty? There is a power button on it and pushing it does nothing.

    Brilliant, I'll be doing that in the morning then. What sort of thermostat would use the blue and earth wires then? Just wondered why and old dial one has more wires than a modern programme able one.
