Replacement Heating Thermostat

Options

Hi,
looking for a bit of advice...
I have a Worcester Bosch MT10RF mechanical thermostat for my heating that's died.
I want to replace it but not necessaroly with the same; I'm looking for a cheap alternative that doesn't necessarily do as much as the MT10RF but has a basic timer on it.
Can any of you nice people suggest anything? Also, i presume it would need to be compatable with the receiver that's fitted to the boiler??

Thank you

    When you say it has 'died', how do you know?

    You will need to use a Worcester-Bosch thermostat if you want to use the same receiver unit in the boiler.

    The other option is to fit a separate wired/wireless thermostat to the boiler.

    thanks for the replies.
    it's deffinately had it - we had an engineer check it with some sort of monitor/device. But tbh it was fitted to the wall in a stupid place and the kids kept knocking it off so I'm not surprised it got broken.
    I've managed to buy a replacement thermostat now at a more reasonable price that that offered by the gas fitter (even replacing the whole unit with a cheap honeywell was being quoted high!), so all sorted.
    Thaks for your help :)
