God save us from another "I carried someone else's bag, polished their spanners, listened to their opinionated, bigoted crap for 5 years before I was allowed to change a radiator valve" gobshyte. Make sure they are qualified, insured, have an address, a landline number and take references...

What a ridiculous response. Most tradesmen here try and help DIYers, but surely you must see that fitting your own boiler goes far beyond that remit, Given that we are trained, tested, have to pay registration fees, public liability etc it's not surprising that you get short shrift.

What sort of threads do you mean? what connector are you planning to PTF?

Does it work OK on central heating?

In your case it's purpose is to carry a switched voltage when the hot water demand is either satisfied or not required. If the cylinder stat is of plastic construction then an earth is not usually required. Most installers would use 3-core flexi and sheath the earth wire in red to denote a...

How are you going to check any of those things?

Yes that is a drain-off. If you just loosen the screw, they have the habit of unscrewing themselves and disappearing down the hose, never to be seen again.

Sorry but are you saying that you did not realise your new boiler had a manufacturers warranty?

Is it a proper leak or a weep / dribble?

Did you replace the washers? did you overtighten them?

Why not just try doing what the previous poster suggested?

Perforated plate heat exchanger. If filling loop is disconnected and boiler not running, can't think of another explanation - unless someone has connected a tap to a radiator or something :lol:

Usually the water to water heat exchanger (WB term for plate heat exchanger), easy enough job to fix. Budget for about £200 all in.

I wouldn't have thought so. Why not take a few decent quality photos of the problem areas, you might get a bit more help then - I'm having difficulty understanding quite what the problem is TBH.

I would expect that you're looking at £50-60 for someone to come out and do it for you. You can use the multimeter to check for both mains current and continuity - this allows you to trace the wiring at your connection site back to the wiring centre. Wiring a battery powered programmable room...

A multimeter. What what what m'lud :lol: Doffs cap and tugs forelock furiously

The LP522 is a good programmer. Why not just someone competent in to install it? it shouldn't cost too much.

This might help. But then again, it might not as I didn't read it. It definitely mentions your programmer though.

My mates dad has an old vulcan which I fitted a new thermocouple to a few years ago. Got to be about 45 years old.

The UP2, or at least the newer ones, have selectable 24 hour / 7 day, 5/2 day switches on the rear of the unit.
