[QUOTE="Roderick Smith, post: 412663, member: 27315"] Will write up a detailed description for you tmrw. I need step by step clear info to help me work best so will try and write in as clear as can ways. The tank thermostats are the ones that are held on by wire HTS3 from Drayton. we have guests into night so had to get water and room temps done ready but will have another go tmrw to record what happens when turned on etc. Would it be better with pictures and saved as PDFs? As writing here might take a long time! I really appreciate the time you guys spend helping others and can appreciate the need for clarity and detail so that is what will do. It is clear from today our boiler is on the limit to heat this house, which is an old farmhouse we rent from the National Trust but is on a fully repairing lease so all our responsibility! When asked to heat most of the house with boiler full temp and pump full go it could not get end rooms up to temp. Got hot water tho very hot. we had old Stanley cooker before this linked to water and couple rads, just needed coal and it was great, this central heating was meant to be our way of preparing for the latter years, we are both in 60's! When we have enough information we are considering writing to the electricians who did all the wiring and asking if they would like to put it right, it's years later and the problems have covered up the mistakes made when installed, our hot water has never worked consistently correctly. Time to get to bottom of this has come, hopefully with your diagnosis I can find someone who can put it right, so many thanks. [/QUOTE]
