    Just common practice I use as if it has a new main and the flow rate is at 20ltrs a min at 1.5bar then the water board fix a faulty line and the flow rate and pressure pick up you can get caught out also helps to get equal pressures.

    Potterton Netaheat 10-16 - not doing ANYTHING!

    More than likely the timer is faulty, if the boiler fires when you turn it on off by the override, you can take the timer off to do a link test but think you might struggle with how to do it safely. Ask your bro if he has a guy he uses for these probs! May only be a case of fitting a new clock.
