.....at the current exchange rate even the cheapest PID kit from Jim is around $492 AUS delivered, which is out of the question at the moment. 
Until the exchange rate improves, a lot, Ive been tryin to come up with a simple work around.
My idea is to try and locate a thermocouple similar to the one Jim uses in his kits and attach it in the same place using the one of the screws that hold the Silvias thermostats to the boiler.
I could run the lead from the TC to a digital thermometer like this one QM1602
This would give me the ability to monitor the boiler/water temp and make "temp surfing" easier with less guess work.
Ok idea, or waste of time?
