Thank you all for your help on this one - greatly appreciate it! So by way of an update, I rewired the Heat Link up as discussed yesterday and the boiler successfully powered up and started feeding hot water into the system! Such a huge relief. Joy didn't last long though, I soon realised...

That is a very good shout, thank you. I should have thought of that when I saw the amount and length of cables I was dealing with.

Afternoon all, Hopefully a relatively easy one for those in the know. Recently moved into a new house and have set about installing the dishwasher and washing machine. So the washing machine and (new) dishwasher have never been properly plugged in. No idea why or what they did, but I can only...
