    Would anyone have or know where one can find a thermostat for a Glow Worm Spacesaver 52 gas boiler? This is a wall mounted unit that looks like this.

    Yeah, it's an ancient boiler which isn't particularly efficient but replacing it right now would involve a lot of work which isn't convenient right now. Third floor apartment, mounted internally with a long internal flue up to the roof - I've no idea why they did it like that instead of mounting it on the kitchen wall!

    I can find thermocouples but not the thermostat unit that the gas fellow tells us needs changing :(

    Ask your gas installer to contact Q&F Quadrant (Glow Worm agents) and they will only sell to registered gas installers.

    Thanks for replying - I should follow up to this. Yeah, a Spacesaver 52 query mostly resulted in astonishment more than anything else. The serial number indicates a manufacture date of 1978! Glow worm stopped making parts a decade ago. It should all have been replaced but some of those old boilers just keep going and going. Until they don't. So it's been patched* up until after Christmas when a new one will be sourced. I mean, 39 years is quite enough for any boiler :P

    * By patched, I mean a spot was found on the thermostat that resulted in the boiler staying on and a bunch of other things.
