Hi All .... I am assuming that it is a coincidence but yesterday we had our gas metre moved. Since the reconnection. When the boiler is supposed to be heating up the tank, it is actually turning the central heating on.
This led me to the Drayton mid position actuator.
it appears that the black tab indicator was stuck on the central heating mode. So after a bit more research it seems that i had to figure out whether the actuator was faulty or the brass valve.
Well i've taken the actuator off and it rattles which makes me think i need a new acculator but i then had a look at the brass valve. I can manually turn it to the right (i assume that is heating mode)
and i can turn it straight (which i assume is heating and hot water mode)
But I can't turn it to the left (hot water mode).
Now I don't know whether it is the actuator or the brass valve that is buggered.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
