Within the PCB? As a stopgap, and to see if it happens on CH, I've turned the cylinder-stat down to zero and switched the immersion on.

I have an old Ideal SE50 which has an intermittent fault. The burner sometimes fails to light, though the fan is running. I turn the control-stat down to minimum then back up, and it then fires, each time it's happened so far. It seems to be more likely to happen when calling for HW (it's a...

That sounds to me like it's reaching HW setpoint, so the HW motorised valve closes, but the pump continues to run.

This is a manual valve I was thinking of, looks like it's on the cylinder primary outlet. There might be other valves we can't see.

Sounds like a restriction in the HW circuit. Are any manual valves fully open? It shouldn't be the HW motorised valve, as the limit switch which fires the boiler isn't made till fully open, if it's wired correctly. You say do you mean CH called on the programmer, or actually calling for heat...

But it isn't except in a minority of cases (I don't know the exact %). Often the sentence is a minimum time inside, like 20 years, after which there is eligibility for parole.

My tip is - don't

Is it mid-position type or either/or?

They say prison is like a holiday camp, but I don't believe it's that bad.

Yes, but that wasn't the question!

No, I don't, but if you also don't, it doesn't come across from your post. I couldn't tell what you were saying.

What are you trying to say? I don't understand that What has that to do with this thread?

My thoughts too, hence later posts

Maybe no doctor, but presumably prison staff who are prepared to administer the lethal injection would be up for it. I still don't see why they use a drug which causes suffering before death, unless it's considered part of the punishment.

Couldn't whoever administers the lethal injection do an anaesthetic drug instead? Then when the victim is unconscious they can be killed by any method. Can't see it catching on for executions. The bolt gun stuns the animal, whose throat is then immediately cut, to drain the blood (and kill it).
