Ravenheat CSI 85AT Boiler. Central Heating not working?

i have the same boiler and same problem and it happens at the same time every year - the boiler is only 3 yrs old!! I seem to think it's because it hasn't been used over the summer and then it just won't kick in. Last year my plumber replaced the thermistor and it worked fine and charged £50. i have just bought a thermistor myself from ebay for £7 and replaced it and it's all looking good!! I bought a hot water and ch thermistor as they are both the same part and replaced the hw one first as it is easier as you just need to turn off your water and electricity supply. it worked but just for a day so i have just replaced the ch one and it has just all kicked in again!! How chuffed am i - had to do it all myself as my hubby is working away!! The ch thermistor requires the system draining so was much trickier but worth it as i am now toasty warm!! thanks Liane
