On my boiler, the double black plug goes into the bottom terminal (the "on" postion) on the Power switch, not the Timed/Summer/Const switch which you indicate.

It looks like the following:-

Power

0 (Off) - Blue Cable

Middle position - Brown Cable

1 (On) - Double Black

One Double black cable goes to the Timed/Summer/ Const Switch at position 0 (Timed) and the other goes off to the terminal strip.

I have included a diagram to make things a bit easier to see, perhaps it will help - feel free to butcher it

EDIT: By the way - wat do you mean by "the diagram on the little instruction leaflet" - what instruction leaflet do you mean?
I got a little instruction leaflet with the timer, when the boiler was first installed, I'm a bit snookered for a scanner, atm, otherwise i would put up a copy.

It sounds like they expect you to remove the connector on the timed/summer/ constant switch taking the black wire from the main on/off switch & replace it with a double connector, which then takes the red/white wire from the timer and the existing black wire, as well.

It should be a lot clearer when the engineer takes it all to bits, tomorrow, when I should be able to put up a couple of piccies and /or a diagram.
