How old is glow worm 30cxi Combi clock?

I have a 12-year-old Glow Worm 30cxi combi powering hot water and central heating. The analogue timer clock packed up recently and would not fire up the central heating either. Assuming it to be a fault with the clock, I got a second hand replacement and fitted it. Clock keeps perfect time, but the heating will not come on or go off on the timer.

Why does my Glow Worm clock not turn on?

Clock keeps perfect time, but the heating will not come on or go off on the timer. Hot water is fine and the heating works perfectly ok if you turn it fully on. Over the years we have had replacement 3-way valves, PCB, etc., and I am worried that this is yet another expensive fault that has nothing to do with the clock!

Why is my Glow Worm 30cxi diverter not working?

I took the motor off the Diverter valve and the pin in the valve is able to be pushed in by the motor to the ch position, but is jamming and won’t return to the hw position. I managed to get some long nosed, right angle pliers on the pin to give it a pull and hw was restored – but the pin is still stiff. I assume I need a new div. valve cartridge?
