    Is my RCD spur socket working

    Thanks for response, I have tested the supply voltage and it is correct. I was just worried that the red test light was barely visible before the testing the rcd, but it does cut the power when tested, so i can only assume it is ok. I already have RCD in consumer unit, so this was just extra...

    Is my RCD spur socket working

    I have just connected a Volex VT1092 Fused Spur to my outside garden sockets.

    Thermostatic shower firing boiler up when not in use

    No have checked all that, no leaks, and only occurs when mixer is set at over 25 degrees. Cant see why the boiler thinks water is required when the flow valve is still closed ??

    Thermostatic shower firing boiler up when not in use

    I have a Swirl thermostatic mixer shower bar, running of a Vokera combi boiler, and at odd times the combi boiler fires up as if the shower has been turned on, and the shower bar is 'hissing' and hot to touch.
