    Hi,

    I presume any analogue electric timer can be fitted to the above boiler?

    I got it done, didn't seem to be an issue to trade. Bypassed a builtin analog timer

    It’s still classed as gas works which makes it illegal.

    It is possible to damage the boiler and it’s quite common for professionals to blow up the pcb board which unfairness is less likely to happen to a diyer (if it was legal) because their more likely to read the fitting instructions which come with colour pictures :D

    I got an electrician to do it on day the plumber rgi registered came. What I meant was that it didn't seem a big deal to them

    Forgive me I read it wrong and your right it is easy it’s just a switch but external controls are the biggest installation defect I have to deal with.

    Some plumbers have great difficulty in understanding the volt free connection in a gas boiler.

    It’s been around for 30 years so they better start reading the manual that comes with the boiler it has colour pictures :D
