Of course, you are correct. For some reason I was thinking the DHW symbol was for a circulation pump, but it is obviously for the cylinder zone valve, so yes, the live from R6 would also need to be included.It should be easy enough to pick up a N&E somewhere, I wonder what logic the boiler uses to determine if any of the zone valves are open if it doesn't get a input back from them?. Why do you say ("and the DHW, which isn't applicable in my case)", don't you need a feed back from the orange wire on that Mot.valve as well.?
Couldn't resist taking the front off the VR 71 wiring centre to see what the engineer had done with the orange wires. He' has simply cut them off as only the brown, blue and green/yellow wires are connected for the Honeywell zone valves. Also, the two UFH thermal valves only have brown and blue wires, plus the cable from a more remote zone valve is only 3 core, even though the zone valve itself has more cores than this (they have also been cut off).
So, it would appear the instructions to connect up the orange wires won't work! What is the difference between the orange wire and brown live wire? Is it that the orange is switched live (whenever the brown is live)? In which case it looks like it can't be done for my setup due to the UFH valves not having a switched live wire!
