Hello again , after the Christmas holiday I got round to replacing the wiring station so it’s a bit better.

I put a Wago connector linking L (Red) and the 3 (Yellow) on the old thermostat to test and it works :D

Now that I've tested it and its running I want to hard wire the Next thermostat in place as the usb is only 5v

Which wires should I move to T1 & T2 ?

If I move yellow 2 and red 3 do I need to remove the Blue? also what about the Brown in 2 which controls the pump?

Disconnect the old thermostat cable (I assume that is RTS) completely from the wiring centre. Then, either add a link to join the terminals where the Red and Yellow wires have just been removed from together. Or simply move the brown wire from terminal 2 to 3 which does the same thing.

The blue neutral, and earth wires are simply disconnected.

That will then leave you with a cable that isn't connected to anything at either end. You can then use that cable to connect the Heat Link terminals T1 & T2 to the corresponding terminals at the thermostat.
 
Thank you @stem . I moved the brown wire from 2 to 3 and i've now wired 1 for T1 and 2 for T2 (y)

Shows 10.9v but I guess that's because to the power drop because the heat link is upstairs and the thermostat is downstairs.

Thank you again for all your help (y)
 
Well done, I'm sure you are going to secure the cable under a wiring centre cable clamp. ;)
