Santon immersion heater.

[greygit]

Hi. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a Santon 3Kw immersion heater.
I have rewired mine but in the process the three single wires on the thermostat have come off the terminals. I will be fitting a new tank and thermostat in a few weeks but in the meantime It is working but if not turned off at the switch once the water is heated it will carry on to boiling and also send my lecky bill through the roof.

Baz, can't click on because you've got "this" included in your web address, can though enter address manually.
Just thought I'd let you know

Thanks for your help baz1968 & luminaire,
It is similar except mine is older. Looking at mine there is a L post to the right, N post and E post to the left. The top of the stat has two recesses with screws. I have two wires from the L post which go round to the left hand side of the stat. I`m starting to think that the 3rd wire links the right and left hand sides of the stat. I don`t want to blow the stat as I have no other means of hot water except the kettle !!

Sorry for the delay. I`m a dinosaur when it comes to modern technology
Two of the 3 wires were definately fixed from the live post to the neutral side of the stat as you can see in the photo.
The third wire was fixed in the live side of the stat but I`m not sure if it was connected to the neutral post itself or into the side of the stat by the neutral post.
