    Swapping Drayton RTS1 for digital thermostat - Wiring question

    Connect the yellow wire to terminal 2 on your new thermostat, you will also need a short length of wire to link terminals 1 and 4. You will need to set your existing programmer so that heating is on constant for the new thermostat to work correctly.

    Fused spur > socket, On lighting circuit in loft?

    No need for a fused spur, just the socket will be fine despite what a certain person who will be along soon to say otherwise.

    Pump not over running after boiler switches off

    I think I follow your wiring diagram. It looks like there is no permanent live supply to your boiler. This is required for the pump over-run to work. Though looking again it also looks like there is no neutral either, as you just show the neutral connected to the pump, but there must be if the...

    Another HIVE howler....

    It is mains powered but has volt free switching. That is why there are 4 wires to it L&N and 2 switch wires.

    Another HIVE howler....

    Fit your receiver next to the spur at the boiler. Cut and divert the 2 wires that were going to the clock and thermostat to the receiver. The one going to the clock from the spur connects to L & N. And the one going to the thermostat from the boiler goes to terminals 1 & 3. DO NOT link L & 1.

    Hive install issues

    This is what I was going to suggest. You can tell if it has been set to gravity mode by the top light being lit up blue, instead of the normal green.

    Drayton MA1 not returning under spring pressure, but...

    Is the boiler in a garage? Do you have a frost thermostat? Maybe it was cold enough last night for that to fire your boiler up.

    Replacement Thermostat

    Well it did with mine and my sister's. But I didn't realise that there were 2 different frequency versions. So if the OP's DT10RF is the older version then you are right it won't.

    Replacement Thermostat

    The Drayton +2Rf or the +3RF wireless thermostats both come as a kit with the thermostat and receiver, but the thermostat will pair up with the DT10RF that is built into your boiler. I don't know if you can get either of them without the receiver, though. The timer for the hot water is to...

    Connecting Nest HeatLink to Potterton Boiler

    As you have marked your cables L1 and L3 to L on nest N1 and N3 to N on nest L2 to 2 on nest N2 to 3 on nest but note even though this is a blue wire it is NOT a neutral. It is the switched live so should have brown sleeving or tape on it to indicate that it is a live wire.

    Nest 3rd gen Install on a Y-plan system

    All of what you say connection wise to the heat link is correct. As you also say the thermostat has already been bypassed, for it to have worked correctly the white wire should have been in terminal 5. So all you need to do is disconnect the 3 core flex to the thermostat and leave the white...

    Boiler iq device, where is it and TF1 serviceability?

    The boiler it device clips into the front of the boiler. If you drop the flap on the front you should see it. It is in the middle and has a green light on it. There should also be a Hive hub plugged into thr internet router.

    New combi - do I need weather comp or stick with Hive?

    @ericmark I don't know where you have got the figure of £80 for Hive TRVs. They are £54 each or you can buy a pack of 5 for £199, so £40 each.
