Yes, exactly that case and those connectors. He was an RGI so not sure why he wasn’t keen on sorting it. I know what you mean re safety around removing the cover but it still feels safer to me than actually attempting to rewire anything myself. To be honest the heating/boiler will remain off as...

Thanks for this…there definitely aren’t any external controls. Just the thermostat to turn on and off…it’s a very basic set up!

Thanks very much for all your advice. I decided against messing about with the wiring myself as I just didn’t feel confident enough that I wouldn’t do something dangerous! Plumber came back today and barely touched it and it started working again! It’s a loose connection to the wiring up by the...

Ok, sorry to be dense but I don’t want to blow anything up, does it matter if I add the grey to the orange, red & black or the orange to the grey, red & white?

Ok, power is off. There’s only one orange and one grey that I can see. Shall I put them in the same terminal? The orange is with red and black. The grey is with reds and white.

Sorry overlapped you’re reply. Will give this a go now thanks and report back

Everything on the tank is still running…the valves and pump are vibrating and the pump power increases if I turn it up. It’s like it’s just waiting for the boiler to kick in?

The cables from the two valves go into there and there’s a cable out of the top of that box that goes to the pump.. Only other cabling is an immersion heater which is switched on separately

Ok thanks, so nothing I can do to try and get it running now?

As far as I can tell the hot water is on permanently (not now it’s broken!) There’s no control switch or programmer anywhere

There’s nothing else! It’s either turned to zero on thermostat or turn it up to turn on

It was so noisy I’d turned the pump down to 1 (was on 2) and the temp on the tank down to 60 and that made the noise more manageable at night time. Not sure if that’s a good idea or not though

I’m renovating the whole house so will be replacing the boiler and rads in about 4-6 months. The whole system is strange to me…the pump on the tank is on permanently and it always sounds as if there’s someone in the shower! The radiators are clunky when the heatings on and even now it’s broken...
