I just took the plunge and it did work with the glowworm unit. Do didn't have to send anything back. Regards

Thanks, that's a good idea for sure. However I doubt on the next service by BG they would have such a sensible approach in the 6 mins they get allocated:D. Gas analyser check I'm off....

A valid comment but no that was not the case but I think I know where you are going.... Let me go no futher than saying I was not happy they followed this route in the first place and advised against it, on the basis of better value would have been had with my own independent Valliant...

Relative of mine had a Bosch Greenstar 30 installed by BG earlier in the year. Reading some of the paperwork I noted it mentioned Boiler iq and a cost associated with it. Lowering the front cover I don't see an additional box on the front. How would I know if it has been installed on this...

Update: I can confirm that the Glow Worm Outdoor sensor works with VRC470 RF. £40 instead of £180 for the Vaillant. :D

Hi Firstly, My sensor is failed and I am need of a replacement unit. So far I have found its around £180 for this unit on its own! Its an NTC sensor with a radio transmitter and a small solar panel hardly a fortune to produce. I have seen online that glow worm (owned by Vaillant) use the...

Pete1976, Just a small correction in case users are searching forums. The 470F does work on older 831's. I have just put one on mine (installed in March 2010) to replace an honeywell unit that caused short cycling. Works just fine :D, but you do need a degree in reading the installation...

My cistern is concealed behind some 12mm plyboard. I wish to replace the syphon and ball valve as the diaphragm is split and its not water efficient. The lever passes through the plyboard attached to some 2x1" (plyboard removed in photo below) Can the button of the conversion...

I'm not looking for payback on a new controller, just more overall efficiency and the Vaillant would be the best option irrespective of the cost now.

Tony Thanks for your reply, I see RF (should have thought of that!), that clears that up. I totally agree with your comments. In retrospect, had I being a little more informed at the time of installation I would have got the WC unit. My 927 has been playing up, it eats batteries every...

Thanks for replies ALEC1, with regard to the "RF version" which one is that, cant seem to find that model only the VRC 470 and the 470f which is the wireless one. I note that the Vaillant site also says the outside reciever is solar powered, so no cables to it are required. the only...

I had an 831 combi installed in early 2010. Very pleased with it I have to say I have been considering whether or not to get a weather compensation installed to replace my current Honeywell wireless CM927 thermostat. The house is 1930's mid terrace, with loft conversion, double glazed and...
