thanks again.

Thanks. The spindle can b easily turned with fingers ie little resistance. In the examples you found did you fit a new one or leave it (the MV) in the open position. My question originally was can it be left like that? The replies so far seem to be saying it should be replaced.

Thanks John. I appear to have been misinformed by my boiler service man who told me no need to replace the actuater ie leave the valve open.

Thanks. In the situation you describe will the cylinder stat stop the boiler when the cylinder reaches 60 degrees (its set position) resulting in the heat stopping to the radiators too? Secondly, it appears i need to fit a new actuator to replace the missing one. Can you advise re wiring or...

You've lost me there!

Yes. The only thing on the pipe is the valve which i can turn with fingers if i want to. Thanks by the way.

There is a motorised valve on the heating pipes to radiators and it is ok. There has not been an actuater on the motorised valve to cylinder for months. The valve itself is open constantly ie vertical.

I had thought the cylinder stat controlled the temp in the cylinder. Is there a problem if i dont replace the actuater?

I have recently moved house and discovered the actuator to the motorised valve on the pipe to my hot water cylinder is missing. This does not appear to present a problem! Does the actuator really need to be replaced?
