Thanks guys - problem solved - I think! It appeared, heat-wise, that only 1 element was working, but that was the 'residue' from the other 3 failing - now replaced. Having fitted a new thermostat, I thought there had to be something wrong with the new elements, or some strange circuit anomaly...

The power rating on elements are, I believe, 850 watts; ohms across each element was 67. With the heater on, the power reading was 245 volts across any/all terminals. All bricks etc were in place, so I couldn't check anything else. I checked that terminal screws are tight. For some reason...

I have a 4 element Dimplex XL storage heater; since turning it on this season, only one of the elements works. I have replaced the other 3, no joy, and only the element (any element) that 'sits' in one particular terminal block works. I've checked the power supply to each terminal block, all OK...
