11 December (Part 1) - Frozen II

TemperatureMany thanks for the offers of fanheaters but the one I bought when living in a flat in Plumstead nearly 40 years ago has been retrieved from the shed and still works. How did I come to buy a new flat near the bus station which had no heating system?

I managed to awaken the maintenance company yesterday and they have admitted to sending a plumber who knew a little bit about electrics when the only sensible course was to send the one who bodged - quite reasonably at the time - the old valve wires to fit a new boiler.

In retrospect I should have changed the valve too to make the bodge unnecessary. I suspect I will spend the rest of the day poring over boiler wiring diagrams and searching the web for one for the probably not new valve. A new one would have been supplied with a diagram wouldn’t it?

Note: The display shows Lost Link because the boiler is turned off because the water tank otherwise gets too hot.
