    My house will not get warm enough?

    2 motorised valves, one for CH and one for HW. Replaced thermistor (£10) earlier and within an hour temp has risen dramatically. Rads and flow now getting v hot. If PCB faulty/on way out would the improvement above have happened by replacing thermistor or would boiler just have carried...

    My house will not get warm enough?

    Thanks, I'll try that, what about water cyl stat? Any ideas here, water hot from taps etc but cyl stat indicating temp around 35degrees. Does anyone know if the hot water temp, how long it's on etc will affect the central heating side of the system?

    Yep, pressure up to indicator. Rads only warm to the touch, not piping, same as flow and return. Could the water temp be the problem? ie if thats low for some reason the colder water would make water flowing through pipes colder, hense colder house or is that too straightforward? Or...
