Hi,
I've got a Worcester 24CDi combi boiler which currently has no thermostat or timer. The boiler is discontinued with literature here http://www.worcester-bosch.co.uk/homeowner/literature/discontinued-boiler-literature/discontinued-gas-boiler-literature/24cdi-bf-discontinued-march-2005-literature. The Worcester thermostat is around £220 so not keen to spend that much.
I have purchased the Celect thermostat http://www.thermsaver.co.uk/heating_controls/thermsave_lcd-rf-3_wireless_thermostat.htmloff eBay as it was said to work with Worcester boilers. I've been a little naive/stupid and took the sellers word for it and didn't think that Worcester may have actually changed the circuitry on their boilers. The literature only shows how to connect a Worcester therm which involves attaching something to the circuit board.
Anyway, on the boiler I have one dial which turns the central heating on and off. I want this to be controlled by a timer so that I can come home to a warm house. Now as far as I'm concerned I need to intercept the signal from this dial, take it via the thermostat switch which then controls the heating. I just can't find any circuitry instructions to do this.
I'm not a dunce around the house and can actually do some DIY so I'd like to do this myself.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Lee |

The Thermsaver would be compatible with the 24CDi. But it must be wired as per the instructions.

| Appears to be quite more difficult than I thought it would due to not having the wiring diagram of the boiler (no idea what wire is for which) so I guess I'll get someone in |
