Hi All I've managed to get a little further with my query. Worcester Bosch have identified my built in programmer and wireless receiver as part numbers 8716 156 1170 and 8716 156 1170 respectively. I'm told that I need a transmitter unit part no. 8716 156 1180 which is described as a British...

Hi Agile...i've bought the house and the last owner said he hadn't bothered with a thermostat....somehow i now think it was a little porky!! Ollski...thanks for your suggestion. The receiver part seems to be working so can you please give me the model number for the Drayton you've mentioned...

Ok Great. Thanks to all for the advice. i shall now try and achieve the impossible by trying Worcester!! Sid

Hi All Gasman....thanks for identifying this as a wireless system. Unfortunately there was no wireless room stat when i moved in!! So please tell me what I can do here? Either find a the wireless part or can I wire in a mechanical room stat which will work with the programmer? Cheers. Sid

Thanks for that Gasman. I feel like i'm heading closer to the final resolution here!! If everyone can see the pictures. My boiler has a programmer built in to the fascia pic1. You will just see that it has a Room Stat section with buttons ON and SIGNAL and in between them the word LEARN. At...

Hi ChrisR Thanks for your thoughts. I thought I might avoid the cost of a programmable stat as the current one works fine! Does a battery operated stat mean that there is a receiver unit wired to the boiler and the sender is elsewhere working on batteries? If I went for the mechanical stat...

Hi All Just moved into a house with the above combi boiler fitted around 2002. It works great and has a built in programmer in the control panel which works the heating and hot water. However there is no room thermostat and the missus is complaining about being unable to control heating in...

hi yep.....i think last 2 posts say it all the boiler should not fire when the valve power head is hanging off the valve although i am getting volts across the micro-switch between the grey and orange wires. i believe the orange fires the boiler these volts must be coming from the...

hi all i have now dismantled the rogue valve in the upstairs flow pipe the motor is working the micro-switch appears to be working when the lever is pushed towards the manual/open position it does not spring back like the lever on the downstairs valve which springs back the boiler...

hi to all thanks for the advice but just one puzzle.....do these valves actually move....can you see or hear them move :?: i have turned the system on and off at the electrics and the controller but the valves never appear to move :?: :!: i am off to get a replacement...

hi kwazi any chance of emailing me please...i appear to have similar problem cheers sid [email protected]

hi all i have now found that the valve in the upstairs flow pipe appears to stay in the manual position when pushed that way. the valve in the downstairs pipe springs back to auto position when pushed what does this mean please :?: the valves are honeywell v4043h1106 cheers sid...

hi oops...sorry...forgot to ask which position is valve closed and which position is valve open please at the moment with the controller now off the both valve levers are pointing to the auto position cheers sid :lol:

hi thanks for suggestion about controller being knackered perhaps....although it appears to be coming on at the right time set and going off at the right time...??? as for testing the valve in the manner described please tell me what it means if the valve springs back or does not spring...

hi the 2 room stats are as low as they can go the heating should not come on.....but it does.....and even if the controller is off sid
