No £35 was a fair price. Another guy wanted £50. He didn't get the job. The guy I used had his own website and also seemed to have one of the electrical body training qualifications. However his main job seemed to be wiring whole new circuits in house extensions or new homes so the fact...

I'm quite sure that unlike some other forum members (who only seem to enjoy pouncing on the incompetent non professionally trained newbie and vilifying their efforts) you clearly enjoy helping the initially incompetent amateur to learn and increase their meagre skill set. So that perhaps may...

To further update the saga due to both what had previously happened (i.e. frying the old Drayton Digistat with Black wire attached to Dem and red to Live) and due to d_hailsham's advice I was reasonably convinced that red to A and Blue to B was the correct solution but in the end a local...

I never actually mentioned the jumper and I have never actually so far seen the back of the Tempus 7 or the current jumper position. It was actually you who introduced the question of the jumper setting as I didn't previously know that it existed. All I said was that as configured the Tempus 7...

I'm happy to hear that you found my post useful then. :wink: :lol:

Do you mean that if this jumper is altered the Constant, Twice and Once settings will then always be the same for both the CH and HW circuit sides and one cannot set CH for say Off and the HW for Twice? In practice any operation of the heating circuit does actually turn the HW circuit on...

Good idea. I just need to track down the right lead to connect my cam and the PC. I know its around somewhere.

Well you and that massive chip on your shoulder quite clearly do. Hence why you then also object if people use words with more than two syllables, construct sentences with more than eight words or use paragraphs with more than two sentences. Can I presume though that you would therefore...

Mummy normally uses a now mainly retired tradesperson (but still doing jobs for old clients) with electrical skills but who seems to have a wife who never ever talks to him and who consequently likes to bore for Britain to all his clients. He likes to fix you with his beady eye and talk at you...

The problem that I'm really facing is all the redundant wires that are associated with the original Satchwell or Honeywell analogue stat that then controlled a driven motorised valve on the downstairs circuit and the duplication of red and black wires (some in use and some covered in plastic...

Many thanks for the useful advice what, what my dear old thing but do these multimeter chappies come with instruction leaflets and what is their usual price compared to hiring one of the more reasonably priced members of your profession for an hour or so? My concern would be that surely the...

The thing is why do so many of here seem to enjoy conforming to my jaundiced and no doubt totally unfair stereotype. Surely there must be a poet or a writer amongst you that still engages in this useful but potentially dangerous and repetitive toil in order to earn some cash. Also if you will...

Correct. I already knew that was the configuration of the system from previous talks with the boiler servicing guy. There is a temperature control on the HW cylinder but I'm not sure exactly what that controls. The HW is always heated when the heating circuit is in use, which rather...

And you are clearly an inverted class snob who actively despises providing help to anyone you identify as not being a fellow white van driver with your horrid England flags fluttering in the breeze. Luckily as you are based in Bristol there is no danger that I will end up using your over...

But you don't want to help anyway. You just seem to be a forum troll who looks for reasons to take exception to requests for help. My essay is long because trolls like yourself on forums then regularly complain that not all the information they need to offer a solution has been provided...

No they aren't. 95% of the posters on here are the 5% of tradespersons who are not overpriced and don't like to see a customer ripped off for hundreds of pounds for what was actually a simple job that they could have done in only 30 minutes to an hour. But it seems that you are clearly in...

I'm some how missing where you actually offered me any help with my problem. Surely the whole point of this forum is in order to avoid the use of over priced trades persons. Also any genuinely over priced tradesperson keen for us to use their services and be ripped off would surely be unlikely...

My situation is similar to the OP except that I have managed to blow up the old Drayton Digistat that I was trying to replace with the Honeywell CM907 as after removing the Drayton Digistat and looking at online articles I rather took fright about connecting the right wires to the Honeywell...

I am replacing the 15 year old basic Drayton Digistat Mk1 (this just changes temperature with no programming and shows current temperature and the set temperature) with a Honeywell CM907. The Honeywell CM907 is not complicated to use day to day as the temperature alterations all happen in the...

I am trying to update an original wired Mk1 Drayton Digistat that I fitted myself as a replacement for an analogue Satchwell (or I think it could possibly have been a Honeywell) room stat in either 1993 or 1996 with a HoneyWell Chronthem CM907 Roomstat. This is the very earliest LCD digital...
