...and opening the door revealed a hidden room with guess what ! So now I can at least do some debugging and see if the receiver is on when I think it should be. Thanks for all the help so far, I now where the stat is and have gained an extra room ! Cheers, Dave

Ahhh... When we moved into the house, like most people, we had boxes everywhere. One of the bedrooms had sliding wardrobes so obviously we just filled it with boxes of stuff we carry from one house to the next never using any of the stuff. So as I'd looked everywhere else I thought I'd take a...

Yup, tried it near the boiler and the cylinder. Will be (mildly) interesting to see if it works in the morning…

To clarify, whilst I did relink the stat it’s not working again this evening.

Mmm, evenings come and the radiators are getting cold. I spoke to the thermostat people and we powered down the boiler and when switching the electricity back on re-linked the stat. Will a plumber be up for sorting out a new wireless thermostat or do I need an electrician ?

It would probably be easier to find a goose then this b***y thing..... I'm not optimistic that if I get British Gas in to a system which is working (at the moment) they will have much enthusiasm for finding the receiver and will just head off to the next job...

It runs up the left hand side of the boiler and seems to disappear behind it.

Hi, Yes I used Duracel's thinking it might be cheap batteries causing the problem but it didn't appear to help. Here's the photos around the boiler.

Hi, Thanks for posting the pics of the two different types of receivers. Yes I replaced the batteries some weeks ago as there was a similar problem and it seemed to cure it. Last night I replaced them again with new Duracells when trying to sort the issue again. I still can't find the receiver...

Nope it’s not in that little junction box. any other suggestions ?

Thanks, I can see a motorised valve that goes from coil 1 on the cylinder the cable of which disappears into a small plastic junction box about the same size as a single light switch (but deeper maybe 2”) which seems to have 2 three (4?) core mains cables going into to it. Might it be in there ?

I’m hoping someone can help as our radiators aren’t working and BG can’t come until Monday. I think the issue is with a rf205-ts wireless thermostat. If I sequence through the settings it shows 00 when displaying the address which I think means it can’t talk to the receiver which I’m expecting...

Appreciate the swift reply. Many thanks.

Hi, I'm in a modern house with new electrics. I was working on a socket and moved the circuit breaker to off before starting on that particular ring. However the RCD tripped, I guess because I bridged earth and neutral when cutting the wire. So what should I have done, flick the big switch on...
