Hi Redlander.

Any chance of a photo of the two parts, please - room stat and the receiver?

Does it look like this:

Is the receiver part built in to the boiler casing, or is it separate?

Yes it's just like that - the receiver slots into the boiler's fascia

This is mine:

Ah, sorry - I'd missed that yours is Wireless.

There are plenty of receivers available, both new and used, for little money. But the Digistat itself is the tricky one. Is there a specific model number on the back?

The newer Worcester units appear to have a different receiver which will not be a straight fit into your boiler, afaIk. So, your best bet, I think, would be to keep looking for the same Digistat, or to hopefully find another model of 'Digistat' which is compatible with the existing receiver.

Best folk to ask, I guess, is WB themselves? If you email them and say your 'receiver' is ok (as we know we can easily get a new one if needed), but you need a wireless room stat - ideally a programmable one - that will work with it.

I thnk I've found a solution. I found this on ebay:

Evidently this is a differently badged version of my old transmitter, which was *really* a Drayton product.
If it doesn't work, I'll only have wasted £31

Good find!

Almost certainly it is identical internally, and will pair with your current receiver with no issues.

Is your receiver working ok? Do you know how to 'pair' them?

Well, I can't be sure it wasn't the receiver that was at fault, but I guess if it was I can find anoter one cheap on ebay. I've got instructions on how to pair the two parts. Thanks everybody for your advice.
