My 5 year-old Baxi Solo 3 CH circuit has just packed up, although the water heating is fine. The CH is controlled by a wireless Drayton Digistat from the lounge. I replaced the batteries a few months ago. The Siebe Lifestyle mid-position valve is positioned too close to wall to manually select both ports. Could this be a valve actuator fuse blown in the junction box, or has the thermostat packed up ( the actual temp is shown as 10C less that set temp, and a green light is continually showing on the receiver though the boiler does not start). Would be very grateful for some advice before I call in an "expert".

look on ebay, I sell the capacitor which will fix this issue, if you search for "draton scr repair", you will find me, I am the ebay seller 'bearsy72' , for just a few quid i can send you the part you need and full installation instructions / pictures, should only take 15mins to change.

you will need a soldering iron to complete the fix, if you dont have one then send the scr to me and i can change it for you
