Thanks Paul, your advice has been invaluable.

Theres only two wires to be connected to the block, would I just cut back the earth cable?

Thanks for clearing those nagging questions up Paul, you're a superstar mate. I'll be following what you said to the letter. I'm hoping the rest of what I need to know, I'll find out in the MI's when I get them in front of me tomorrow. Basicly I'm talking about what kind of insulation to put on...

I understood that the room-stat would act as a boiler interlock, which would stop it cycling when there was no demand. Is this not correct? I would like further explanation if you could please. Thanks. A millivolt system is often referred to as an ELV (extremely low voltage) system, I think...

http://www.heatline.co.uk/home/welcome.php They're relatively new, and very cheap. It was not my choice of boiler but was here when I moved in as a new boiler. I've had a constant problem with it that became more and more frequent. It would switch itself off and display the warning...

I really appreciate the help guys. So, I do need to get a specific no voltage thermostat? It's not possible to hook up the connections to a 230V powered stat? Trying to narrow down my options. The honeywell DT200 is volt free, but I'd rather have a programmable stat if possible. Any suggestions...

I am intending to fit a room stat to a Heatline Compact S30 combi-boiler. Currently the boiler is not working and Heatline are refusing to honour the guarantee unless certain installation faults are made good. Due to the mains wiring needed to install the reciever unit for a wireless reciever...

Thanks again slugbaby and everyone who took the time to reply. I believe the actual tail is iron going by the mistral pdf. I've had a change of tack now anyway, and will only be replacing the bedroom TRV. I'm installing standard valves on the living area rads and fitting a room stat. From what...

Thanks. The tails definatlely need to loose at least 5mill. It's possible I can get them machined. I don't know if an angle grinder would be up to the job of cutting through the metal and if it did it would invalidate the warranty at the least. I think I'm going to just try to get valves that...

Brilliant. I did at least buy some PTFE tape, so as soon as I manage to get the old olives off I can get this job done. Youre a scholar and a gentleman. That was top-class help sir! edit: I'm having trouble fitting the valves, even if everything was tightened the bottom pipe is too far from...

They were banging severely and often, causing the Bar-Gauge on the boiler to go wild. So the o-ring seals the tail after it is tightened? I was worried about this as the ones I've seen on ebay all seem to come with a little brass part. Can you confirm that it's a reducer? Heres a pic of how...

I've been going through severe problems with my Heatline Compact S30 combi-boiler and recently had an engineer out to it under warranty. He noted that the TRV's the instaler had fitted were one-directional, said this would cause knocking and stress on the boiler and advised that they be...
