Hey CountryFan removing the white 24v RT worked. Now the boiler is turning on and off via the thermostat. Thanks for your help

Okay let me try that. Thanks for your help CountryFan

Hey thanks for the reply. Which 24v link needs to be removed? The replacement was just reconnected like for like.

Hey all I replaced the pcb on my vaillant ecotec boiler, it's working fine. However the wall thermostat is not working with the new pcb unit. So when I turn the thermostat down it doesn't turn the boiler off. See photos. Any help with how to get this working?

I'll look at various options and decide which is best to go down. I could fuse switch it, that is an option. The cave CU is there if needed.

I have MCB in the supply end, a 32Amp The cave CU is British General which has an RCD 40A 30mA, MCB 32A and MCB 6A So can use one of these for the armoured cable from supply

how much smaller? Yes you might be right, it does seem there are different options, and a pro can look at the whole set up in details and advise I guess

Thanks ericmark. So my man cave will be similar, eventually will look at have a fridge freezer in there and maybe a hob oven etc. There is a 10mm wire for the oven which I will put on a separate MCB. So I think I'm going with connecting the armoured cable in the man cave to a 32A MCB, which...

A lot of advise there guys... Understanding parts of it, but not all !! The building is an outbuilding, a man cave, so will have av equipment (TV etc) . And thinking of putting a kitchen in there later to host parties. For phase 1 I just wanted to get power to it and second fix the sockets and...

Oops sorry I meant MCB. Understood re grey and black, this is how I found it, but can switch them. Cable run is about 30 meters. I'll look at the earthing of the SWA. Right understood, so what would you recommend?

Thanks for the replies all. The garage feed is earthed using the grey cable see picture 4 attached. Using the correct terminology now - the garage is fed from a 32A MCD, so I could just put the same on the garage consumer, 32A MCD? I already have the consumer unit there so just to make it...

Hi All, I have a armoured cable going from the main house to detached garage. In picture 1 & 2 you will see the armoured cable in the house consumer unit attached to a RCD B32 (Garage sockets) Now the question: Should the armoured cable going into the garage consumer unit be connected to a...

I took this bottom part of the front door contact out, but I've put it back and cannot see where the tamper would be. Attached is a picture Could it be this contact? Zone 1 would be the front door right? The alarm used to be monitored by the old house owners, but it is not any more.

Hi I powered down the system and that got rid of the low batt z09 message. But I still cannot arm the alarm. The date on the panel has reset to 01/01/2005 When I put in the four digit code I get First message = 2 problems set? I press the tick and get Lid tamper inactive next I press the...

Hey EightyTwo, The old battery was out for at least a week while I could find the same replacement, so I don't think that's the issue. Also the new battery works fine. I'll try the power down, do you mean just switch off the electricity via the fuse box?
