Alan how old is this boiler ?
When was it installed ?
No wires coming out of my Dads boiler as it is a wireless remote thermostat.

What sort of thermostat do you have ?
It may be like my fathers boiler that is controlled by the thermostat with 4 different timed temperature settings, so effectively turning boiler off with room temp only.
e.g temp setting drops to 7oC after 11pm untill 21oC at 7am.
Hope this helps.
