Hi

I have a Myson Apollo boiler (30b/40b/50b range) and the
electro-mechanical
programmer has packed up. I have found what seems to be a replacement
part
at
http://makeashorterlink.com/?B261310BB ,THORN B4161 Programmer £131.96
ex.
VAT.

It seems a lot of money. Screwfix sell programmers for £30 -£40, but
i don't
know which one is suitable.

Does anyone know of an alternative (cheaper) programmer that will do
the
job? Or does the price seem about right?

Thanks

I used a screwfix programmer, I fitted right over the exisitng plate from my 
old programmer
(used metal contacts on the rear of the new programmer that matched up 
against the older plate where the wires are.)
Do a google for the programmers they sell and see if they convert your old 
make.
BTW the programmer was excellent giving me lots more options for heat and 
water on a
day by day basis.

Is the programmer part of the boiler? If so it would be possible to add one 
of the cheaper 30-40 programmers and join it to the boiler if you are 
confident enough to do basic wiring.

If not then

looks like the same item for cheaper.

Sorry. It is not the same item.

But still have a look at their site.
