Asked advise from an electrician re said switch.
he said due to the hot-cold-hot-cold nature of
the boiler this was failing and the plastic
becoming brittle. One of the riveted connections
was coming loose.
Would this be ok to adapt

Or.... take the two wires that go to the switch and join them together, hey presto, it will never trip out again lol

Thankyou very much Ice, have ordered the two so have a
spare if anyone has problems .
In the mean time Anavrin have twisted those 2 wires
together and am standing in a bucket of water holding
the wires to test


Only jokin wifey wants me to she is checking my life
insurance policy as I type.

You'll be ok in the water as it will insulate you from the ground.....

I'm now thinking maybe it's a good idea to send for a couple....just in case...if it's happened to you it could happen to anyone of us T5 owners..

Yes I think the term is dry joint or something
like that. As my buddie said caused by hot cold
etc, its made the plastic bit go brittle.

This could be the start of our new company Ice.
Call it "Still Smart Spares for Stills"
our motto " We dont want all the money in your
bank account, just half of it"

That'll do me boyo....where do I sign, baggy being CEO dib dib dib.

What you want to be MY boss,
God help you Ice

Ninja.....take a look on Amazon there are enough about, and 99p from China is worth a punt.
