Thanks man. I am guessing actually that a lot of the boilers here need a good service, as I noticed when checking my over flow pipe (is that actually what it is?) that the girls upstairs one is almost like a running tap! Thanks buddy, and stay safe :)

My boiler had had a stuck pressure gauge for a while now, but otherwise had been working fine. It's a rented property and I had reported it, but it seems they hadn't deemed it important enough to repair. Meanwhile I bought a new pressure gauge myself, thinking that maybe they were an easy clip...

Mines not like that model. This is mine: https://i2.wp.com/justcentralheating.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/IMG_2094.jpg And on mine it does actually affect the hot water. It explains it in the manual. Basically as you turn up the heat dial, it slows down the running water going though to...

It's just a bog standard mechanical timer which I have switched to the permanent on setting as per your earlier recommendation. I do appreciate your replies and help by the way :)

Oh yeah I get all that. It's just that my boiler is turning itself on and off, seemingly having it's own idea of what temperature it should be, completely ignoring the Nest settings telling it when it should be on and off. I'm also finding the Nest seems really slow in reacting to changes in...

So now this is installed have I come across an obvious drawback? The combi boiler I have, has a heat dial on the front of it that controls (not very accurately) the heat to the radiators as well as the regular hot water. At the moment, even if I say, tell the Nest to set the room to 21...

Ok, so wiring it up only took a few minutes, but it isn't triggering the heating. I can turn the dial on the thermostat and hear the relay clicking in the heatlink, but it isn't switching the heating on. Edit: did also set the manual timer to always be on with the central switch double edit...

Yeah just checked and it's 3amp. One thing I'm curious about. The boiler has the spur switch and also a switch adjacent to it with a red light, which as far as I can tell doesn't affect the boiler at all. I'm curious as to what it is, as switching that on and off does nothing at all that I can...

Ok, I have managed to get out and grab some cabling and just want some last minute verification please. The wiring for the heatlink should be as follows: Heatlink L > L on boiler N > N on boiler 2 > L (I can link small cable from L on the heatlink save running to...

Ok thanks. And yeah I knew it was nothing to do with the Nest, I was just saying that basically it was sods law :)

So I must have tempted fate buying a Nest system to have installed, because before it as been done I have noticed a problem with my combi. Once in a blue moon I have to use the key to top up the system (maybe once every 12 months or so) and the other day it looked to be low so today went to...

Hi there. Hope it's ok to bump this thread up? I have the same Worcester 24i Junior combi. This model here: and wondered if I could ask a couple of questions. I am assuming if I am starting from scratch then I'll need to get some cable to make the connections to the heatlink, or is cable...
