Heating wont work but water will ?? HELP

[Agile]

Depending on the make there is usually a lever at the side which can be used to manually open the valve and a slot to rest the lever into when its opened.

Depending on the fault, doing that does NOT usually operate the switch to bring on the boiler!

PS "Diverter valve ?" was meant to mean that it sounds likely to be a failed diverter valve ! Next time I will write "failed diverter valve?" !

ok found the lever and pulled it into manual, when i do so the heating clicks on and the room thermostat now works as usual , but the switch keeps wanting to move back, and even when clicking it into locked position it doesn't go back far enough to keep the heating on, so does this mean a whole new valve ?

thx for the help

Probably just the motor failed.

A fiddly but easy job for a capable person who is competent.

I see you are now getting somewhere!

Apart from removing the head there's only five wires to replace.
(white grey orange blue green/yellow) in the terminal box
Do make sure the fuse is removed. Just switching off HW and CH at the programmer still leaves the grey wire live.
If access to the terminal box is easy, it's a half hour job.
A electrician would be just as good as a plumber

thats the thing, the part is very hard to get too !!, does anyone know if theres a fitting guide somewhere ?

thx
