    Hi Please could some one confirm this is the correct PCB No. 252945 for the thermostat card non hybrid version.There is a time delay fault on boiler so I think this card needs to be changed. Thanks for taking time to read .

    It is the one which can be adjusted mechanically The water valve pin can be adjusted that operates the servo control valve and also at the end of the Diverter vale the microswitch plungers are adjustable Although the movement on this looks nice and smooth!I checked water valve diaphragm...

    Does the servo control valve effect the CH system or just DHW ?

    I'll give it a go .How does the CH system work (basic) I can see how the DHW signal via water valve (nodding donkey) cam .But can't see where signal from the PCB gets to diverter valve to make micro switches ?Thanks for your help
