How to turn on Central heating on a Glow-worm 45-60 B boiler with a broken timer

[Manchester#1]

Hi

I own a Glow-worm 45/60 B boiler but my analogue timer (EMP2) is no longer functioning. I'm curious if there's a way to manually activate my central heating and hot water without relying on the timer.

I understand the timer has a continuous option however it seems to be malfunctioning and not registering any changes. If it were stuck in the 'on' position, I could have relied on the boiler thermostat to control the heating. However, since it remains unresponsive whether set to off or continuous, I'm wondering if there's an alternative method to activate the heating without using the clock?

This can be achieved by manually making that connection in the wiring base and switching on and off via the fused spur, assuming you have one.
