Having checked almost everything the grey to valve is live, the programmer seems ok and there is power to the stat when HW is calling. In respect of the stat I'm not sure whether this is a normal fitting but the live goes into a thermal cut out first which is live when HW calls, from the cut...

Right thanks lads, just an update. I think I'll probably have to get someone in to sort it but I like the challenge. The orange isn't going live when HW is calling and it won't fire up when HW is opened manually either. I know its not the microswitch as the water heats up...

I got a plumber mate in who identified the valve which he thought it was. Today I changed the valve and its still not working. If I switch the heating on to fire the boiler up and open the valve manually, then switch the hot water on it heats the water up but I don't want the heating on in...

My boiler has decided that now we've got winter out of the way it would be a good time to stop working and create a fault. Obviously by being here i'm not a heating engineer but if its solvable within reason I will have a go and have saved myself thousands in the long run. The problem is...

I have a pair of two port valves.

Thanks for your reply Tony. When I turn the heating or water on, the motorised valve becomes loose but is otherwise motorised when not in use if that helps. When i open the valve manually and use the heating to fire the boiler up this doesn't seem to heat the water up either as I thought it...
