Quick update. Changed the cylinder thermostat for a new one £15 from toolstation on way home. Boiler now turns off with stat controls instantly so thats one problem fixed. Just the three port valve to swap at some point to fix the water pass by thanks guys

Im counting down the hours till I can go home and play with it all lol. The whole lot is very old (excluding the very new boiler).

Hi Ian, thank you ill do that. Wouldnt the immersion be on 24/7 though? Its got a direct switch next to the tank which is off but I will remove the fuse to be sure thanks for the suggestion.

I think posting an outsiders link broke my reply to you @stem Thanks for your help. I am fairly handy with a multimeter. When I get back later I am going to do the following things: 1. Check the wiring as per the diagram originally posted in case of an obvious issue. 2. Manually check the...

Thanks for your help. I am fairly handy with a multimeter. When I get back later I am going to do the following things: 1. Check the wiring as per the diagram originally posted in case of an obvious issue. 2. Manually check the valve see if it turns freely as suggested 3. Check connections...

Sorry that was a miss type I understand thats not the case now. No the immersion is not on to the best of my knowledge

I definitely think I have more than one issue but thankfully I think you guys are helping me figure it out. So thank you :D At this point would it harm to replace the cylinder stat and ill know for sure its not that? Im 99% sure that if I have heating on only and then it shuts off that the...

Really appreciate all your help. I know it can be frustrating talking to us newbs!

I will double check this to be 100% sure as my first port of call Does this just pop off then? Best to have the power off etc to do this? How stiff should it be or should it turn pretty freely. Even though I can manually turn the water on and off fine using the programmer all things point...

Ok to get this straight (if we work back a little so I can get my head around it) If the pump is the only item in the loop that tells the Boiler to come on or off. And the wall thermostat works correctly, and I can manually turn the water on and off from the programer fine. That leaves the...

@JohnD Also yes the three port valve moves fine with the room stat. So if heating comes on via the wall stat the port moves and heating comes on, once the house has warmed up to the wall stat setting the boiler turns off as expected.

Okay so. Ignoring the cylinder stat for a second. If you turn the heating on, it will go over to heating fine, just heating the heating pipe. Turn that off and turn water on it then moves to the water side then heats the water fine. Leave both on it goes to the middle position and heats both...

Lets give this multi quote thing a go :D This is what confuses me. The three port has three modes. W - Water / WH - Water & Heating / Heating. Obviously depending on the demand you give it goes to one of these three thats the easy bit. For arguments sake if im JUST heating water via...

Hi Stem, @stem 1)To be certain of what your saying for the test. Once the hot water cylinder is hot. Leave the hot water ON but turn the stat right down and see if it cools? Otherwise with the hot water setting off it would not eventually cool anyway no? 2)I have checked the position of the...

Okay heres some pictures. The three port seems to work okay
