[QUOTE="brummydave, post: 354248, member: 18490"] Pardon my heating newbieness, but i'd love to hear some wisdom please. In a holiday bungalow that's been used occasionally for the last 50 years I've come across some queries. I spotted a top mounted Creda immersion heater (Redhead brand, code 61466, marked as BS3456 as well) with heat damaged cable. The element reads 17.5Ohm so i figure it's still ok, and there's no Insulation issues. However the thermostat is ancient. It's a wide and short thing, think it's dated 1979! No obvious cutout at all. If just replacing the cable does the thermostat/heater need to comply with BS EN 60335-2-73? Is it possible to get a replacement thermostat for an immersion heater this old? Sorry I didn't notice if the header tank is plastic or metal,it is above the hot water tank in the airing cupboard. Thanks you lot, D. [/QUOTE]
