I'd turn it up again before they come to hopefully demonstrate the fault. I generally find these problems worsen with time so you're best sorting it now rather than finding a possibly temporary workaround.

I'm after a Worcester-Bosch one myself in the not too distant future  so i'm especially interested in how this goes. Is the servicing done by the manufacturer ?

Simon:
My servicing is done by the installer, who is a local heating and plumbing firm.  Overall, it's been a very good boiler, and I've had no issues with it other than some sort of filter that they had to fit last time in the service.

Den:
If you disconnect the timer/stat and then turn the power back on, does the boiler still fire up and radiators heat up.

If it does the fault is in the boiler if not then it's in the timer/stat. What happens when you turn the room stat down or set the clock to off?

I've not tried disconnecting the room thermostat, but when I turn the temperature down, the boiler doesn't switch off.  I think, having already replaced the thermostat, it's got to be something to do with the boiler.  The problem is, it doesn't do it all the time, so the chances are it will work perfectly when the engineer is here.

Do you have homecare or anything? British Gas have been ace when we have developed a range of problems... all covered for a decent price in the year...
