I cant seeee any cable wired to it.
Thats was not the final picture !

This is the mark 1 version when I used to preheat the water and used a blending valve to limit the hot water to 40 degrees before going through the gas combi. This cylinder was even cheaper, only £37 on ebay from a guy who bought the wrong type. I even sold it on 5 years later for £100 to a guy who was taking it to his holiday home in France.

This is the finished picture of the mark 2 version, although there is even more insulation around it now. This version does not use a blending valve as I normally operate it with the gas combi switched off.
You can see the wires now. ;)
