Thank you for enlightening an old fool!!! I ended up ordering the Hive 2 this morning from Amazon on a Black Friday deal for £119 delivered... Brilliant price I think. Unfortunately the Nest 3rd Gen is still at £249...

just a reminder of the existing wiring:

Ok, Just to mix things up. If I were to choose the Nest thermostat, i would need the below wired, looks a bit more complex. Any ideas with regards to the wiring? I believe mine is a Y-plan system. I think this is the same diagram also:

Thanks Guys!!!!!!

So will slot 2 remain empty? so: N - N L - L 1-1 3-3 4-4

I thought i could just connect the two wires in the current thermostat together to give it a permanent live.

There currently is no wire in slot 2 and slot 5 looks like a permanent live bridged from L. My current programmer has 1 - 5 slots and new one only has 1 -4.

Hi All, I am looking to change my old wired thermostat and Potterton programmer for the new Wireless Hive 2. I currently have a conventional boiler with a separate hot water tank. The new receiver that replaces the programmer needs the below wiring: I currently have the below wiring: And...

Thanks John!!! The bath is tank fed so im lucky there. At present the mains cold for the shower is buried in the wall covered by tiles so should be interesting on the options given to me, ideally i would like them both buried and hidden. Are these pumped showers really good...

Thanks. My cold water tank is about 3 feet above the shower BUT the hot water cylinder is on the same floor but about a foot below the shower unit. Will this impact me severely? I was under the assumption that the plumber will be able to just tap off the hot and cold to the bath, am...

Thanks. I actually do have the 10kw Triton Perluso installed but still not happy. Looks like I'll have to call a plunber to quote for new pipework (hot and cold feed) for a new pumped shower. Are these electric pumped showers any good, tey state 14L per minute but not sure if thats...

Happy Easter All!!! My wife and myself have been living with an cold mains electric shower for years and am just fed up with the poor flow rate compared to the lovely showers other people have. We have a cold water tank in the loft feeding one toilet, bath and basin. We also have a...

Thanks folks!!!! Now I will have to actually do some work...

Thank you. I was not sure what length to use as there are different ones, 43mm, 52mm, 72mm etc.... I know that if you have the wrong length, the anchor will be useless... So you think 52mm length will be ok? And sorry to be a pain but would you recommend the anchors over the...

Hi, I was looking to buy some hollow wall anchors (for the first time), to hang a quite heavy (12kg) mirror cabinet, on a plaster board stud wall. The plasterboard is standard 12.5mm + about 4mm skim (if i recollect correctly). I would be grateful if you could tell me which is the right...

Hi Guys, Over the last couple of weeks with the weather we have been having our 1940 built house brick walls are sucking in water like a sponge. It is so bad that that it is bridging from the outside wall through our concrete window lintel and into the inside wall. The house also has a...

Hi Guys, Just wondering if any of you are based near Redhill, Surrey. Looking for a CP12 certificate and service!!! Thought I would ask here first before I start calling around :) thanks

Thank you Simon. An extremely useful post :) You are right the powerflush done when the boiler was installed was done without heat and only for a couple of hours so its probably just built up and now put me in the situation.

Thanks. Do you mean just empty the system via the drain valve and then refill via the filling loop on the boiler and then empty again untill it is clean?

Hi Guy's, about four years ago we had an old potterton floor standing boiler (conventional) 30 years old replaced with a new Heatline condensing Combi (I know they are not the best boiler). At the same time we had the the system powerflushed. Now the boiler is struggling to get the...
