Having just seen a picture of a charred out plug from an iron left on overnight, I suspect it is simply burning out. It’s set to 70*c (don’t ask) and although on a morning /afternoon timer, it’s probably just burning brightly for its short life… Not sure I have the inclination to fit a new tank with two elements, but just have some themostats on hand each winter I guess.
Ahh, yes. Probably different qualities are available but 70 is hot. It's exponential effort to reach that too. Probably doesn't switch off much and as you say burns bright.
Thanks again for the thoughts
