Simple thermostat to replace old British Gas ES1

[flutterbye]

Hi

(Reposting due to previously at the end of a very old and unrelated thread).

Could the Drayton RTS1 be used to replace an old BritishGas ES1 (i.e. is it compatible without having to rewire in a new one - just want to keep things as simple as possible if I can).

Also if I did that would there be an improvement on the current miserable stat performance? (When turning the knob to the right to click on and then to the left to click off, the difference between the two clicking point is about 10-15 degrees !)

Thanks in advance if anyone knows this.

rts1 will fit right onto the backplate of the es1 with no changes. loosen bottom two screws and hinge up to remove.
