Hi, newbie here and looking for some advice.

The house I have moved into has a British Gas RC plus thermostat/WR1 receiver as pictured below.

The thermostat is linked to the boiler etc and the only issue seems to be the display on the thermostat doesn’t work. Can see a couple of faded black lines but never been able to use it to set timers etc. I was able to use manual mode and could tell when the temp was above or below 20 due to the lines

It has got gradually worse and now I can’t see a thing - again see below.

I sourced a new thermostat but can’t seem to link it to the receiver following the instructions online (below) or provided with the new thermostat. The part about a blinking red light and linking just doesn’t happen, a full red light stays on and no linking seems to take place.

Anyone have any ideas what the issue could be? Failing that is there a way to switch the display screen on both? Don’t really want to get a heating engineer out if an easy fix.

Appreciate any responses.
