Boiler broken
Came home yesterday to a tropical Paradise, well at least as far as the temperature was concerned, 25 degrees, !! The boiler was constantly on!Plumber came out today, turns out our thermostat ( ours is a standalone programmable one) is bu##ered, for a viessmann original type is£379
Honeywell do one for £237, ouch !! Hopefully all should be fixed tomorrow,

Re: Boiler broken
Was a time when you had a thermostat on the wall in the hall, and a clock somewhere discreet that you could set the times for your heating to come on and go off.Mine worked perfectly for over forty years.
After having a new condensing boiler fitted last August, and being supplied with a state of the art programmable transmitter and receiver that cost more than some cars I have bought in the past. It broke down and had to be replaced after only three months. Fortunately, it was still under guarantee this time, but I might be going back to those good old days if it breaks down again.

The £1600 quote was from the local plumber who showed us the cost price of the boiler (with ten year guarantee) and added £500 for labour. Fair enough mate, job's yours..
