    Hot radiators when thermostat at zero...?

    Hi, I've got a weird problem I'm hoping someone can help me. When my timer comes on to heat my hot water, my radiators start heating up. This is despite the fact that: (a) the timer is NOT also calling for heat (it's on 'TIMED' but the timings are not the same as for the hot water) and (b)...

The radiators don't heat up...

    Boiler delivers hot water but no heating - what's going on?

    Hi, it's all very strange! I've got a Glowworm Fuelsaver Mk II model 50 connected to a Towerchron QE2 timer. The pilot light went out yesterday in strong winds. I've relit it OK, but for some reason the boiler only bothers to fire up when the timer for hot water comes on. When the timer...
