against the case? Does it have volts on it now? They are normally earthed at the "switch" end as well as being in electrical contact at the "hot" end. I'd suspect a faulty thermostat.

The boiler so far hasn't tested as live but I've not tried under all running conditions as I don't fancy having an electrode in each hand with one at earth just in caser the short decided I was a shorter route...
