@richc  thanks for the reply, how did you bypass the black plastic thermal cutout, do you have a picture

Mine just had two terminal spade connectors on it. I simply joined them together. What's wired into yours? It looks to have more than 2 wires, is it 4?

From the photo it looks like the last inch of the blue cable is burnt, that's an indication of a loose connection.

So i bypassed the black thermal cutout in the center and it seems to be working now .
Just wondering what will happen  bypassing  the thermal cutofff ?   Is it safe to run ?

No.....its there to prevent a fire or a serious injury...or smoke inhalation asphyxia...best hav it replaced with a new thermal   safety. Bout 2 euros on ebay and  theres loads of spare parts suppliers online. I hav some so bring ur boilervif u here tmora ill sort it try sort it. The safety cutout is a switch prob set at 113 c that switches when boils dry. If u hav work that boils dry wen u fall asleep on the sofa there will b a hell of a lot of toxic smoke to deal with.... So homebrewers bewsre of bypassing ur boiler cutout switches

So to conclude, yes indeed loose wiring was the problem. Replaced the thermal and new wiring. All good now thanks for your help Brenmurph
