Default Strange immersion heater stat?

Hi All,

I was round the Mother in law's yesterday and she mentioned that the
hot water has been very hot since my brother in law changed the
immersion heater or stat (we weren't sure which) a little while ago.

I hade a nose in there and it looked like (difficult to get at) the
temp settings went (clockwise) 60, 50, 70 and 80 deg C?

Was this right or was I seeing things?

As I couldn't see easily I turned it 'down' (fully anticlockwise) but
later thought I heard the immersion on quite hard (kettle heating up
type noises) even though the cyl was still pretty hot from before?

Is it possible the wrong heater or stat has been fitted and would that
give strange (overheat for setting) results?

All the best
