Thanks! It's definately 240V and I plan to replace the cylinder thermo and the room thermo as well.

I'm rewiring from scratch (I have the ceiling down and can access all of the wiring). The old programmer is a "Controller 3000" from Smiths Industries and the new programmer is a Sunvic 207 XLS. So do I need a Y Plan? Is there a wiring diagram around that includes the Pump Live and SwL...

Hi, I'm replacing an old programmer with a new 6 terminal programmer and have a few questions. 1) What system do I have? I have a 3-port valve, a pump hot water storage tank, a normal boiler. Is this a Y-Plan setup? 2) I have the wiring diagram for a Y-Plan and it all looks straight...

I have a Y-Plan setup - pumped, a cylinder thermo and a a rad thermostat on every rad in the house. I'm about to replace my very old programmer with a new one and was wondering whether you HAVE to have a room thermostat? What happens if I dont add one?

It's a Sunvic select (207 I believe) http://www.uk-plumbing.com/sunvic-select-207xls-two-channel-programmer-p-51293.html?zenid=56775b7a63b38067ce69da8cdc58852a

Is a mid-position valve the same thing as a 3 port valve?

I purchased a new programmer today that uses a "standard" 6 terminal backplate which was handily not included. Can anyone point me to where I can buy one please. I've googled and have found it a lot harder to track one down than I would have thought.

Thanks for your help rebuke, the light is currently on a fused spur and the main fuse board is an old board with big old fuses - there are no RCDs anywhere. Maybe I should change the main fuse board for a new consumer unit and run the garage lights and power off of that directly (and shed in...

Hi, I currently have power to my garage which is just a direct connection to the main fuse box in the house. In the garage there's a simple junction box with a spur for the lights and a spur for the a few plug sockets. This doesn't sound correct/safe to me. Should I replace the current setup...

No one :(

The sink is ok (ish) it's the bath that's the real problem. Its a largeish whirlpool type. I have some nice chrome taps embedded in the wall which meant I had to use 15mm 2m long flexibile hoses to/from the taps. This i guess it's whats causing the problem. So would a pump on the cold/hot...

I have a gravity fed system and the water pressure to my bathroom is poor - the bath takes an age to fill up. I've been told I can fit a pump to the hot and cold to increase the pressure, is this true? Which pump should I go for and what pressure ? Many thanks, W

Thanks. How would I test it if it wasn't in place? Can I jest test for resistivity changing?

My parents have got a fault and i'm trying to solve it by eliminating one element at a time.

i've got a room thermostat with 3 connections. How do I test that it's functioning correctly? Details are: Model: CTR246 12v - 249v SPDT 16A Contact Rating

Just installed a new double rad in the lounge and its making a tapping sounds every now and then. It sounds like a finger nail tapping on the rad!? Any ideas anyone?

thanks for the replies. there's not enough room for a compression joint :( it's just one end of the elbow, if it's pretty dry and fluxed, will the solder take do you think?

I recently fitted a rad and needed to solder the pipes due to limited space. I used pre-soldered (yorkshire?) fittings, a blow torch, flux and a heat mat (as advised). All of the joints seem bar one seem fine. The one that isn't good it a tiny leak - I only noticed it 4 days later after the...

Hi, I have a pumped, boiler/cylinder system which I have recently drained and refilled after fitting a new rad. The downstairs rads are ok (although could be hotter) but the upstairs are all cold. Any ideas anyone?
