Great news - with a MASSIVE THANK YOU to Mikeyd - I managed to successfully wire up my Nest last night, with no problems. For ref, I ignored my earlier post and followed Mikeyd's instructions precisely. Thanks to everyone for helping me get this completed - the mrs is now very happy.

Before I start doing things I think it best if someone agrees with my plan: I think there are 2 issues here (but I maybe wrong): 1) powering the Heat Link 2) controlling the Heat link 1) Boiler L, wire to heatlink L Boiler N, wire to Heatlink N And this should power the unit 2)...

This seems to be very informative: https://community.nest.com/message/28982 but still does not answer my question about somehow running the power for the heatlink out from the boiler - anyone?

So I need to get power to my heat link can I run a line off of that inside the boiler ie connect N & L to the corresponding spots? Looks a tight squeeze to get any more cables in there. Is this the right way - do you get a splitter?

Already now staring at a Nest and wondering how it hooks up. RIP Honeywell thermostat. So my next wonder is how I install the heatlink - and power it. hmmm

Right - well that solves that. I guess I pull the old Honeywell of the wall. Whats the best way of dealing with the wire on that thermostat - bit of insulating tape and leave that there - or gently pull and see what happens? Nest then will have a new spot near a plug somewhere. Next...

Thanks Flipped open the main unit on the boiler today, picture below: So i think Nest will wire into 3,4,5 Would I be right in deducing that the lack of any wiring there indicates that the thermostat (as previously described) definitely isn't wired in (and appears to be redundant...

Hi guys, So the mrs is relatively convinced that the thermostat doesn't work. So she's gone and ordered a Nest, which I'm going to have to figure out how to install (hopefully with a little help :-) ) The kit : Honeywell T40 wired thermostat : Vaillant TurboMax Combi 824 So currently...

Just trying to avoid tearing down all of the wall coverings - at first had the great idea of a few 10mm drill holes and some injection foam....but that seems to not be a good plan.... :-(

Hi, I live on a busy main road and am waging war on the noise. Last night I had a glazier round to discuss options about sound proofing the windows and he made good mention to sound also permeating through the walls. Below is a picture of our bedroom - which is not in a loft conversion...

Hi, I have a number of minor cracks on my window sills. Pictures show just one of them. My Questions: 1) can anyone tell what they are made of - I think concrete - would i be right. House is in London and dates to around about 1900, maybe a little before. 2) Should I bond the...

The photo should be rotated 90deg clockwise to vertical- so you would see a very solid wall , half inch gap, fairly solid door. It doesn't wiggle a lot, but as with any wood will move, and presumably expan contract wth heat. I would have thought this is a relatively normal issue in joining to...

Hi, I have a large gap between where the front door has been installed and the brick work in front of it. From the picture (apologies on the sideways shot) can be seen a bit of filling plaster that just about remains. Clearly overtime the house has shifted and slowly this stuff has fallen...
