Change : up(down) grade CH timer

[Whitling2k]

Now then.

Just wondering - us it possible to interchange timers on boilers? My new house has a worcester 35 CDi II. The timer unit is a 'fancy' digital one.

The thing is it's a prime example of progress moving backwards.

My old boiler had a dial that you put pins in - so could have as many start/stops during the day. The new one is limited to two!

Ideally - i would like at least three (morning, mid afternoon, night time).

Can i just grab on older one off ebay then plug n play? Are they standard fittings/connections or do they all have proprietary fittings?

Cheers

Yes, I think the older mechanical ones were replaced by digital but you can fit the old mechanical timer if you want,it just disconnects from pcb via a small 3 or 4 pin connection,just be careful and make sure you turn boiler off first please.
