    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. 👍

    Good result. :smile:
    Do you reckon it was always like that, or done when the new cylinder was fitted?

    Did he also correct the misappropriated earth wire ?

    When the new cylinder was fitted - new control box went in.

    Funnily enough, that was the first thing he changed!

    And probably had a few choice words to say about who ever did the work originally.

    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.
