Thanks - this worked perfectly.

Hello all, I've had a new system boiler and unvented cylinder installed, along with a Hive in the last few weeks. We aren't getting on with the Hive at all - connection from the thermostat is pretty erratic even in the next room to the utility where the controller is located, and the behaviour...

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I've just read that article on combi's and I'm inclined to agree. We love the idea of removing the hot water tank and the airing cupboard and freeing up space in the bathroom which was the big draw. The reason for asking for itemised was two-fold - the first...
