almost 2 years later.....

fitted the (mini) thermostat, and works well; nice to have some heating again in this chilling weather!
and the beauty is that it only takes 5-10 minuits to do :D

Is this still the thermostat to get?? Say the opening temp is 77C thought it was meant to be 82.

Could the 'Hokey-Cokey' actually be what it's all about?

See here:
viewtopic.php?f=33&t=29911

The one you have is a standard mini thermostat which will fit but - No jiggle pin, no offset, normal flow.

There's no point in having a 77C thermostat in the UK. 82C is the thermostat for normal operating temperature.

Thanks Simon. Please could you point me in to the right one to buy. I have found high flow ones but they don't look like the one in your photo on that thread.

chris.t I'm really close to you in P'boro. I got our local factor to order a 'stat kit based on the QTH100K part no. All the other 'stats I saw involved buying the gasket (which is pointless I reckon, esp if it wasn't listed...) and he came up with this kit.

You're welcome to try it - and replace it if you want to keep it - or order it for yourself, cost was £10.95 inc. On my 'v-f-m thermostat kit' thread others said they'd used it too :)

Loadsa luck
