Boiler Connection Help

[TJS]

Can anyone help, I have just done a rewire on a house that has been completley refurbished and the homeowner has decided to put the old boiler (Glow worm) back into service and wants a s plan. I dont normally get involved with boilers and there is no wiring diagram for the boiler. There is 2 flex cables coming from the boiler, one has the usual Cpc, Live and neutral. the other is a 5 core flex and without the wiring diagram that came with the boiler, i need to know what each core serves

What model boiler is it ?

Has it a built in clock ?

Not 100% certain but i would think the 3-core goes out to pump (over-run), and i would say your 5-core serves a permanent live, neutral, cpc, and switch wire. I've a feeling you may have a spare core??

Hi TJS, If you supply us with the following:
Make, model and serial number of the boiler.
Make and model of the heating controller/programmer, pump, valve(s) and thermostat(s).
We can then give you specific circuit and connection details.

There is no other way to determine what each of the cores (including cpc) connect to, apart from you personally finding out.
Personally, I would disconnect whatever is there, test the integrity of both cables, and start from scratch.
