    Hi,

    I am having a problem with my boiler, the rads wont stop heating.

    Under normal circumstances I could turn off the heat going to the rads if I turned down the thermostat on the wall upstairs, however with this turned down the rads are still coming on.

    Has anyone seen this before, gas bolier is a glow worm 18si.

    Yes, my money is on the zone control too.

    There is always a manual over-ride on them (small lever on the side), move this to see if it fixes the problem temporarily.

    If it fixes it, zone control motor is dead/faulty/power-less
