Thank you, a nice cheap part too!Stat broken.
Power off, put yellow onto red terminal, with red still on there, Power back. You will have linked out the stat till you get a new one.

As I know that the rads used to heat a bit when the hot water was on (only hot water) I may still swap out the full valve and fully drain the system,, any inhibitors that you would recommend for my system & netaheat boilers?
Also, the water going into the expansion tank, if this continues after the thermostat change is there anything that this screams out as, as a fault?
What's the Heat exchanger made from?
If it's anything other than Aluminium I'd use Fernox.
As far as the Tank goes, check the level first. When it's cold it should have 4 or 5 " of water in it.
How old is this neataheat?
I remember one potterton did years back but there can;t be any of those left alive now!
whats with the slap here message
They normally are just the permanent pilot and getting hold of spare parts that let old boilers down
Fernox F1 Inhibitor
Auto pilot on these Shaun. The earlier model had one also. It worked in a similar way to how a Gas oven works. They had a Mercury vapour valve with a Phial over the pilot. Once it warmed up the Mercury would expand and open the Valve. There were separate solenoids and regulators on those too.
I'm reminiscing now !!
They were a nightmare lol!
Was thinking about an old gloworm space saver
Thank you, what about cleaning or is a flush through with fresh water a couple of times normally enough?
Ah!
Another amazing invention.
They would all outlast any modern effort!
Yep had one had to get rid flue was smelling a bit
Even had the upgraded cast hex, it's in the local tech collage now
