Just had a thought, there is what appears to be a large capacitor in the thermostat case. The wires go to the connectors on the valve. Its about 4cm x 13mm in dia. Could that have anything to do with it?
Lost me reduced to 24v inside where? the valve.
As i asked previously what colour is the gas valve black or blue ???
