Well I've been bad on many occasions then, while fitting an outside temperature sensor and messing around with the diagnostics port. TBH I can't find anything in the manual, or on the panel itself, that says the front panel shouldn't be removed for safety reasons, although there is a standard...

yup, they've just confirmed they'll send me the part under warranty or charge £200 to come and fit it. So I'll have a got and report back.

Gosh, that's a great story :) I'm in S London and I don't think there's been any major work on the mains locally. I hope it is a perished O Ring, but I'm not going to do anything till I hear back about the warranty.

I want to permanently remove a radiator, together with the run of polypipe back to the previous rad in the system. At some point in the future I'm likely to want to put in a new rad in the room next door. So I'm thinking if I push say 3m of capped off poly under the floor I'll make that...
