Great spot. I'd actually mislabled the pump and stat. There's no sign of of the missing cable. I wonder if it would be easier to install something like this? https://amzn.eu/d/0gJLVSPV

Thank you to you and @terryplumb for taking your time previously. I'm Revisiting this as we're getting a new bathroom suite (originally house come with an electric shower only) Just to recap were we're at, when heating only was selected at the controller, the cylinder would also heat up at...

I'm replacing old timber framed doubled glazing with upvc and was wanting some advice on what frames and glass to go for. Local companies seem to use rehau, eurocell and aluplast frames. Then it's between pilkington k glass argon filled and planitherm glass. Is there much between the above...

We have a radiator that isn't very warm at the bottom I'm guessing a sludge build up and was wanting to clean it out. What would be the procedure for this? Would the whole system have to be drained or just a case of turning off the valves, disconnecting radiator, clean, then reattach? Any...

I'll need to add an extra couple of lengths of pipes and 2 elbows for this shower to be able to fit?

This is the manual from a mira multi fit shower. Does it show the pipe can enter from the right, even if surface mounted?

If I was to get this model of mira shower what additional fittings would I need to buy? Can the existing elbow joint be flipped?

Here you go.

They don't seem to make this shower anymore. Could someone recommend a like for like replacement or one that's a near fit please?

That's great! Thanks for your explanation. Would something like this be okay to isolate the unsused cables?

It's a nest E Thermostat. A friend is giving it to me after they've renewed their boiler. We have the acl lifestyle lp241 programmer on a y plan pumped central heating. I found an online compatibility checker for the nest E and says its not compatible when I select the wire labels as...

The current thermostat is an acl 4 wire model. Is that compatible with nest? If not, what work is required please?

I've found a crude work around to get central heating only. I removed the thermostat from the cylinder. At first I thought to attach it to the flow pipe thinking the heat from the pipe would stop demand from the cylinder, however I realised that pressing in the metal plate on the thermostat...

Until someone can sort the wiring out I could presumably mark the default hot water position on the pipework and return the motorised valve before the engineer comes without creating any other issues?

Thanks. I'd already found them and had set things up, but the problem is the programmer is always showing that the hot water is on whenever I try and select the heating on its own. The valve stays in the mid position until the cylinder meets its setpoint temperature, only then will it switch to...

What would be a fair price for this work? First time I'd have had to pay for boiler system work so don't want anyone to have my pants down.

Thanks for your explanations. Unfortunately I'm not renting, so any repair bills land at my feet. I was thinking of keeping the system going for this winter, then replacing with a more modern combi boiler - would the existing pipe work and radiators be compatible with a combi? What would be...

I went back to it after an hour and the the switch had moved to "H" and the thermostat on the cylinder clicks on and off when I moved it higher/lower which changed the position of of the valve to M and H respectively.

Just tried your suggest and nothing. Valve is still sitting at "M". In the current state will the water be constantly heated whilst heating is on? Is that safe? Is there anyway to manually switch the valve to heating only mode?

The boiler did fire up... The radiators heated up too. Is it possible the drayton ma1 could be seated incorrectly on the valve? Ie the valve position doesn't match up with what's being displayed at the side W, M, H for example the unit is indicating that hot water mode is on but the valve is in...
