The clock timer on the Mt10rf transmitter does not work, but it can be used in day mode to get the heating on.
Is Drayton LP10RF a suitable replacement?
I guess the receiver from this would need to be used rather than the existing Worcester one?

Hi All,
In Dec 2023 I had my annual boiler service and asked the plumber to change 2 radiator valves as the radiator in the toilet downstairs was not working. He changed both valves and still the radiator was not working. He put some chemicals in and said it should break up anything that is...
I have a ESRTP4RF+ and the heating and hot water are running fine.
