Yes, but we need to know more - can you do simple wiring and pipework,
using compression fittings if you don't like to solder; and simple (but
mains, so you need to be competent) wiring?
2. do i have to pull cables in to control the valve?
Possibly not, I think the services you need will be there or thereabouts.
You'll need a controller near the valve, which is usually near the pump.
The wires to your boiler exist, I presume it's fired by the cylinder stat.
3. i want to fit a wireless thermostat, are these any good?
You'll need a cable to a room stat, I guess not if you use a wireless one,
but I've no experience of them.
There's plenty more experienced folks than me here, but they'll all need
answers to the above, so post them and they'll be right on your case ;o)

Hi guys
many thanks for the replies. I am still trying to fully understand what system i have at the moment. I think i have pumped central heating and gravity hot water.
After the pump the pipe splits into two, one goes to the coil inside my storage tank and the other (25mm) i assume goes to my radiators.
I dont seem to have a stat on the tank, the only thing i can find is on the coil outlet from the tank i have what looks like a trv valve with a thermocouple wire from it which goes to an aluminium block strapped to the tank.
I have been reading on here and people seem to convert to a C plan arrangement.
Why cant i just fit a 3 way valve after the pump?
I am sorry for what might seem basic questions but this gets more and more confusing the more i read.
Thanks
