Hi if anyone can help.I want to replace the old ACL room thermostat i have.When i opened it up it is wired as follows

I am not sure why you think there is a problem?? This is the industry's modern standard and almost every voltage free digital thermostat will fit.

The earth obviously goes to the special earth location or is cut off if no terminal is available.

The red and black are connected to the Common and NC respectively. NC (Normally Closed) and NO (Normally open) refer simply to the relay contacts being either open or closed.
