    I read here that some of you have the pegs for your central heating timers.
    I would like to know if any of you know where I could buy some as we have just bought a house that has such a system but doesn't have all the pegs

    Never seen them on sale. Come to think of it, never seen coloured removable ones for a central heating timer. (But that doesn't mean they don't exist)

    Suggestion 1, buy a similar plug in timer and take the ones out of that.

    Suggestion 2, look up the timer on a search engine and contact the maker

    Suggestion 3, get the whole timer changed from a mechanical one to an electronic one (no pegs required)

    Most (not all) timers use a standard back plate, so you can just swap them over, but, it depends how old yours is.

      As previous post
      REPLACE the timer clock
      If it is just the same "times" everyday £7
      "Variable times" over a week £25
      DIY simple if you are able to do DIY THINGS MAKE SURE THE ELECTRICITY IS TURNED OFF
      Get a small electrical jobs bloke out of the local paper for £20 to fit it

      Fashion the pegs yourself using similar sized stuff found in kids toys in charity shops or matchsticks
