How do i "stick it in the system"? Is this fairly easy? I'm no plumber.

Certainly will. Thanks for all the advice people.

Just looked on the back of the front panel and there's a date stamp. 6-03

Since i took the switch off (couple of hours ago) and replaced it everytime i've put the hot tap on we have hot water! Very weird. The company i used were on our councils website as a "Fair trader", thats why i used them. Do you think i've been ripped off then?
