no CH; Hot water OK

[sally]

anyoone got a fix for this one !
i have no CH as of last week

Conventional system. Programmer fine, new; thermostat, fine (3 years old)

I have a crap Drayton Floweshare 2 ~ 2 position. not even a selectable mid position with which to have heating AND Hot water active
...it's allways swithing to the HW position; when i move the lever to the CH position, it returns to the HW position

is it faulty or should i look elsewhere for why CH is not working; as all rads are cold i didn't think of investigation the possibility of a airlock, but any help would be appreciated!

cheers
sally

ps. i've heard about replacing a motised vavlve, but this is a old flowshare 2...

No dont get a three port vaklve sally as you will have to rewire everything, by head i meant actuator, the white thing that connects to the valve body

no worries corgiman; screwfix.com sent both a 3-way valve & actuator; the wriing diagram for the valve i think i can work out having had a look when i bought the house & ~ to cover alll possibilites & take no chances i'll change the actutor as well

thx 4 you help
