This is all making sense now and I look like my namesake! What a muppet (me). First I thought this, then I thought that.... turns out everything is electrically ok AFAIK and it is a common problem without that valve from what I now gather. The pipework all is burried in a vertical void...

Thanks guys. I missed that one, but at least I know where to go with this. So, if I get a motorised 2 way valve, it goes where exactly? And did you say it controils the pump? So what triggers the valev to open/close? I may be being a bit dense here, but if you don't ask........ Cheers Dave

Ok, checked terminal 4 this morning as advised. With water only, no feed. So, popped wire back on and moved on. Now, although I thought the pump was running, it seems I may have been wrong - happy to say so if I am as well. I just popped the water only on and ran upstairs to hear the pump...

Thank you VERY much. I will do that tomorrow and report back either way.

Hey people. I was uneable to get to look at my wiring until today, so sorry for the delayed reply. Well, it is very difficult for me to definitely see what is going on, but here is what I do know: The wiring to the backplate SEEMS correct from what I can tell. The only query I had there...

Just in case anyone is wondering, I haven't had a chance to check the wiring yet. I will though and will report back here as you have helped and it may help someone else in the future o know too. Cheers Dave

Thanks Chris. It is 30+ years since I did plumbing for a job. Now I remember why I hated it so much LOL. I was just confused because it looked like two pipes only going to the boiler, but that turned out to be the gas pipe in and anm old water supply pipe that went nowhere. The actual pipes are...

Yep 4 pipes. I am just trying to suss this system fault out. Bottom line, there are 4 pipes to /from the boiler that I can see from above (pump cupboard direcxtly above boiler). That suggests that it is two in and two out, ie gravity HW & pumped CH. The jumper on the timer suggests that too...

Bump?

I am now even more confused because having convinced myself it must be a fully pumped system, the programmer is set to pumped CH and gravity fed HW system. IF that is correct, then I am guessing that there should be an AGV somewhere, but I cannot find one anywhere unless it is hiding in the...

WOW! Thanks for all the replies guys. I didn't expect anything like that many or that quick. OK, to address some points. I haven't actually tried the programmer on timer at all yet. Just used boost for the radiators a few times, and a couple for some hot water. We have electric...

Hi all. I have just bought a house which has a Glow worm Black gas fire with back boiler (I think a 45/2). Everything works, but I am a little confused over one aspect. I will try to explain There is one controller, a Drayton TEMPUS 7. There is also one thermostat in the dining room...
