Thats a good idea.... How would i do that?

Its an Alpha C23 Combi boiler.

Hi Anyone got any advice? My combi boiler fires up all the time, its on pretty much perminantly, keeping my radiators anywhere between slightly warm to almost fully hot. I've got my thermostat down to zero and the timer is set to OFF so it shouldn't do this at all. Thanks Pygmymonkey
