Thanks for all your comments and suggestions. I found an alternative heating engineer - took him 20 mins to identify a permanent live and a switch live in the wrong places. Hey presto, I’m no longer thinking I’m mad and I have a system that now works. 👍2006 LBM £28,000+ in debt.

Good result.

Do you reckon it was always like that, or done when the new cylinder was fitted?0 -
Did he also correct the misappropriated earth wire ?
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

Swap that nasty choc block box with a half decent CH wiring centre, makes it a lot easier to fault find.
Oh, and it's unlikely they will send a heating engineer just a technician if you're lucky.
