Hi all, thanks for the replies, I popped to Screwfix and bought a new one, which was an easy swap out. Seems fine now so it was probably sticking as the wheel inside was stiff and not moving freely. Appreciate the responses

Hi, Can anyone please advise on what wires should be present on a Drayton HTS3 cylinder stat? I have a 2 zone valve system (1 for HW and 1 for CH). The HW comes on but doesn't seem to switch off, looking at the wiring, should there be a wire on the satisfied terminal?. There is only 2 wires...

Hi, I know this has been addressed previously but I fitted a monobloc mixer tap for the bathroom basin. it stated for "high and low pressure" my hot is low pressure from the tank and cold is high pressure. The hot is dribbling out and cold is blasting out. I tried turning down the isolater...

WLS Gold...to be honest I think it's fubar'd as I turned the front screw and black water came out. I bled it for a while but water was still coming out even after screwing it back up. I have isolated the gates and will replace tomorrow. any suggestions on make\model?

How would I know if the pump is turning? The water is hot, doesnt that mean the pump is pumping? thanks for the input

Hi I have a Worcester Danesmoor oil boiler, open system. HW is OK, heats up no problem, cuts off when up to temp. CH fires, Drayton motorised valve moves over to open, stays on for about 5 minutes then stops, valve remains open. The room stat is calling for heat but boiler just cuts off...

Hi I have a Drayton LP112 timer on an Oil fired, open system. I have two spring return 2-way Drayton valves, one for HW and one for CH. . The hot water is working fine but the CH is not clicking on, however if I push the black plastic override lever on the valve, the boiler fires but will...

Thanks for the input, I have removed the CH valve and checked the small valve. It is moving freely. I replaced a towel rail in the summer so maybe it's an airlock somewhere? I have bled the rads and all are spitting water.

Hi I have an oil fired Worcester boiler open system, two mid position valves, one for water and the other for heat. Last year I replaced the CH valve and have recently changed the Drayton timer, as one of the override buttons seemed sticky. I changed like for like ,so no problems with configs...

Hi KevPlumb thanks for that. When you say Microswitch, you mean there is a small replaceable switch inside the 2 way valve? Forgive my ignorance I am not an engineer.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I believe they can be opend and oiled with WD40?

Hi all I have a Worcester Danesmooor 15/19 oil boiler and a Drayton LP522 programmer in the airing cupboard. This is all wired in to a junction box and works fine until the timer clicks off and the boiler stays on. The red light on the boiler will not go out and I have to cut the power at the...

Thanks for your help D_Hailsham, actually I didn't know what a combi boiler is but I do now, google is a wonderful thing.

Thanks for the info To clarify one thing in the instrctions, Am I working to the "Combi boiler basic wiring layout" or "Zone Control Basic wiring layout" ?

Hi al I have had to replace a wired Drayton Thermostat with a wireless RF3 as I believed it would be easier than running new cable under the floor etc. Anyway they both use the same backplate (see pix) and are wired the same way (ie: N- blue, L- Red, Call-Yellow) So when I power off the...
