can you get us a better picture of the junction box and try to move the connector blocks out of the way a bit so we can see what goes where?

from what you can see in the joint box, valve 1+2 seem to be heating zones?. you can see the 2 brown motor wires connected together,but no sign of a switch wire connected to open them.
the scr receiver is just a single chanel contoller(http://www.plumbnation.co.uk/site/drayton-digistat---2rf-wireless-programmable-room-thermostat--1-day-/Digistat%20+%202RF-3RF%20Brochure.pdf)
which is connected to the tank stat.
whats telling the heating valves to open?.
can you physically move each heating valve seperately to manually open positions and hear the boiler firing up.

Ok, I've tried to move the junction boxes and cables around a bit to make it clearer. There are short lengths joining some of them so when i pulled one out of the way, it pulled another in the way...lol.... but hopefully this may be a bit clearer. Thanks.
I've tried manually moving all three valves but it doesn't fire up the boiler. I now have the RF2 programmer set on to the constant setting and turned the boiler off and on and i have heat again. But i imagine if it hits the temp at the highest level, it will knock itself off but not fire up again. I'll have to wait and see.
Thanks. Mark.
are any of the valves opening when stat calling for heat?.
Moving the lever only opens the valve for the water, it has no effect on the boiler firing.
The electrical circuits need to be properly energised to fire the boiler.
Yeah I would presume that the stats are programable type and there must be a wired programmer on the cylinder stat too
Dont think it should be much of a nightmare to sort and I'm sure if agreeable I can arrange to help Mark if he has not got sorted..David

Hands up anybody who has seen a central heating wiring centre where any of the switched live conductors are sleeved red or brown?

Oh go on let me

turn off the power, take a piece of wire and connect it between the grey wires and the orange wires... ( they are all grouped together )
does the boiler fire?
from what I can see and make out..

this should be how it's wired now?

can you get us a picture of the connections inside the SCR digistat reciever?
the extra blue wire is throwing me somewhat.. it only has 5 connections and you have enough wires in for that..
we'd also need a photo of the boiler connections
