Good morning/evening
Ive just recently moved into a new (old) house and having a problem with the CH & HW...
our system which i suspect is on a W plan is:
The previous owners would use the main switch on the boiler to turn the system off and on as theres no CH programmer to be found in the house which i found bizarre.
Today theres been no HW but the CH has worked fine when the boilers been on so i went to check the immersion heater and the 3 port valve seemed to be stuck halfway, with the little lever moving freely without resistance, when i took the actuator off it would click every second or so and the valve spindle moves freely around 10/15 degrees left and right. Im guessing ill need to replace the actuator as the lever isn't working and its a honeywell model that allows me to without draining. i found the immersion stat under the floor boards which was set to 90 degrees which i imagine is way to high so lowered down to 55.
But heres the wiring, and for some reason im thinking this is wrong and needs redoing... would i be correct? ive also done some research and although the 3 port valve says Y plan i was thinking that i have a W plan so was wondering if you think its worth changing if thats the case?
If anyone could offer help id greatly appreciate it.
Cheers

our system which i suspect is on a W plan is:
- Glow worm compact boiler - discontinued - no programmer fitted
- 900x450 Immersion heater
- Honeywell sundial Y plan V4073A1039
