Yes, looking at it again I think there is a very slow leak. Annoying to have to replace it when I never use the boast function (main immersion is fine), but worry if I don't it may do more damage. Thanks for the replies all.

That's why I'm posting to get an opinion if it needs changing. Plumber said he saw a drop of water coming out and then seeing only what I posted he that immersion is corroded and needs replacing.

From the links which one do you think is which?

It's called an immersion heater thermostat in the link (red one). That's the one he's saying needs replacing.

I think its the Immersion Heater that needs replacing rather than the thermostat Red one: http://www.plumbcenter.co.uk/en/heating/domestic-controls-valves/wired/sunvic-vkl-2351-immersion-thermostat/ Black one...

This is the heater: http://www.heatweb.co.uk/uploads/files/brochure-pandora.pdf

That's for the part (I've now ordered that myself). He said the whole tank needs to be drained first. At least 2 hours of labour on top and another call out charge.

Hi A plumber took a quick look at my immersion heater thermostat on my thermal bank water heater (during service check up) and told me its corroded and needs replacing. It's for the boast (which I don't use) on a 5 year old heater. I took a couple of photos which shows both thermostats which i...

Thanks all for helpful tips All fixed. Switch live was marked wrong. They marked the 2nd light cables neutral with brown tape. Argggggghhhhhh!

I've identified the wires: I have 1 main supply wire - test using multimeter on AC setting I have 2 wires giving residence on multimeter. One was labeled the switch live with brown tape, I think the other goes to next room. I have 1 wire showing neither reading which I believe is the wire...

So I have 2 S/L wires? diagram linked in earlier post still only has 3 cables shown so not clear how I wire up 4th

The switch live cable is marked. I thought I knew the cable going to the next light but it must be wrong given the results. Hopefully the multimetre will resolve this when I can test which is not a live wire.

Both lights are controlled by the same switches (there are 3 in the room) and both lights should come on at same time. Currently the way it's wired (if I attach both lights) one comes on while the other is off and switching any of the switches turns the one off and the other on. Neither...

Nooooooo, like analogue. Reminds me of school science lessons......
