Please help me wire up this Room Thermostat

Not sure what you mean, the heating is not a combi boiler its an old glo worm II

When we switch it on at the timer switch in kitchen it comes on but regardless of where I have the setting on new honeywell room stat the heating stays on.

i checked the wires and there seems to be no current going in, i could be wrong but the screwdriver i have doesnt light up when i press on wires.

programmer is timer

you may need to open your wiring centre, be warned there is 240v and a good tangle of wires in there

And what would I be looking for exactly? Is there a fuse?

 

[twgas]

probably not a fuse (although it is possible) but you will need to determine which wire does what, and then find out where you have power and where you dont.

Ok so now it probably sounds like a job for a professional, why would the wires be dead any ideas?

Surely I never killed em?

Hi all,

Here is an update, this morning the thermostat is working, ie if i turn it down the boiler turns off and if i turn it up the boiler sparks up so its all good in my view

Thanks to all that have persevered with me and gave me loads of superb help, especially D_Hailsham.

Thanks a lot,

Best wishes,

Lee.
