Sorry for going on about it, the wife's doing my head about it, she says "well it's been there for 20 years when we moved in" I explained that things have changed in the last 20 years! She keeps going on about not wanting to see the boiler, can any other screen be placed in front of the boiler...

Hi there, I have one of these in a chimney Brest it originaly had a grill covering it, should I put it back or is better to have it with no cover it looks a bit unsightly! but is there a chance of the boiler getting too hot with it fitted?

I don't think there is a relay box the wires go from the actuator to a large plastic junction box where there electrical connectors, hpe this helps

I think I've found a replacement from here https://www.heatingcontrolsonline.co.uk/sunvic-satchwell-sm5203-actuator-p-36.html I've emailed them to see if it will fit to my existing valve body see picture. the Central heating Actuator seems to have packed up I don't hear anything and the boiler...

That'll be a pain but they've been there for years:(

the Hot water one does, but I put the thermostat on full and selected constant heating and the heating actuator does not turn, I think the model number is a SM 3203 I've emailed the company to see whet they say http://www.sunvic.co.uk/products/motorised-zone-valves/

Got it off, put the boiler on with constant heat with thermostat on full, no noise or movement from the actuator.

Do the plastic covers just pull off I could not see any screws that keep them on, I didn't want to yank them off in case I damaged them

The one that controls the Central heating seems to have packed up, does anyone know who made them? is there a replacement? Or can they be fixed?

Ok will do thank you all for the help you given. Bob

LOL not his fault when he visited it had two wood French doors with plenty of ventilation to two new UPVC doors without any That's why I want to put a Vent in the wall .

Would like to air on the safe side and get one that's larger than needed, the trouble is I can't see anywhere on the boiler that tells me what model it is! to find out what output of the boiler and have goggled for images that match mine! Would this one be ok...

Sorry thanks everyone, put it down to my age and having no experience with Boilers and Central Heating. I have removed the screen and will get the wall vent fitted, any ideas who would be the best people to ask to drill hole etc? Where would be the best place for the vent? Just above the...

Sorry, I don't know better just asking for advice, all I want to do is make sure it's safe, I just want to make sure that I put a Air vent in that is legal, re the grill that's in front of the boiler what it be ok to drill larger holes holes into it to improve airflow!
