Just in case you guys were wondering if I'm dead, I managed to get an electrician to come on Saturday. Simply tested it and the timer unit had gone so he put in one wire which enabled it to be directly run from the wall switch. He was a nice guy so didn't mind paying him.  I've returned the...

Tried a couple of places again. No answer. No call back. No responses to my texts apart from one who said he was away for 2 weeks :/

I've rang several 'electricians', some don't even answer and when they do they don't deal with electric boilers.They say call a heating engineer. I'm sure an electrician can fix it going by all your recommendations? I'm in Birmingham B5 postcode so would appreciate any recommendations for...

The bottom immersion heater wasn't working when I moved in even though the timer was on. I had to use the boost to warm up the water.

I've plugged in both the new and old stats and I'm getting a reading of about 17.6 ohms when I touch the wire connection points. But surely if the stats were good then I should be able to get a reading if I connect it on the spades when they are removed?

It's fused from a wall switch that has a light on it, means its good. I'm sure the element is fine as well given the readings? I'm just trying to fault find myself. I'll have to take a day off work to arrange an for an electrician to come down.

Lol true. I did ring around but I'm getting ridiculous quotes. And some don't even reply back. I thought it would be good to learn something in the process, buy the parts myself and have a go. I've always done that before. I can just return the stats but want to make sure they are not at fault...

  The figure just stays on 1 even at the lowest ohm setting on the multimeter. But I know the multimeter is working as it shows the immersion element is find. Yes. I've set the timer to come on without boost at about 2am but it doesn't work at all which lead me to believe that now both my stats...

A week before Christmas I noticed my hot water ran out a lot quicker than normal. I didn't think nothing of it then but the next day in the shower it was just pure cold water. I checked the fuse, which is fine. I'm running on a hortsmann electric 7 with a twin immersion range tribune boiler...
