Be careful if you do do it coz the wires to the micro switch are live at the end of the day
So if you try it in the morning you should be ok.

OK, i pushed the switch carefully and the boiler did fire up. However, the water remained cold. Is that to be expected?

hi again guys. any idea if i should have had hw when i triggered the microswitch manually? cheers.
Not if the diverter is faulty !!
Why not play safe and replace the diverter ?

ok, so you think it's not just the diaphragm then? what does replacing the diverter entail? more tricky?
No its easier as your removing it anyway if you just change the diaphragm plus you gotta strip the diverter where as if you just chage the unit then its a straight swap ..
so if it's only purpose is to operate the switch why do i not get hw when i operate the microswitch myself (by pushing it manually and thus firing up the burner) ?!

As chris says you could have changed diaphragm in time it has took to read this thread , by moving switch manually it oproves everything else is working but no you wont get HW cause the insides are not moving as they should. turn water off under boiler open hot tap 6 screws ONE PIPE at top strip out replace including gland nut that comes with diaphragm kit 10 mins max.
Thanks everyone i wil give it a go.
Namsag and Chris, pls remember that we are not all "experts" at this, which is why we use this (excellent) forum in the first place. What may take you ten minutes will take us amateurs a lot longer, so it's important to understand what's going on before jumping in and potentially cocking it all up!
Anyway, your help is much appreciated. Cheers!

When .you have it stripped give both pins a clean with wire wool to clean tiny bit of scale on them then grease with silicone provided in kit.
