Hello ALL,

boiler started cutting out quicly after switch on (set on HW only demand and then with Heating & hw demand too).
system seems to be fully pumped.
investigated and found
1- pilot light is on.
2- set boiler stat to mark 1 and boiler fire up then burner shuts down several minutes later
3-then moved boiler stat to 3 and burner fires up again for a coupe of minutes
4- then moved boier stat to max and burner fire up for couple of mintues and then burner cuts out
5- checled F&E has water in it
6- checked pump with screw drvier and seems to be strong
7- checked pipes near HW cylinder i loft and found flow and return to be piping hot
8- checked hw thermostate by feeling that pipe was hot on each side of the rad type valve fittied inline in flow next to HW cylinder
9- after some time, 10 min boiler, fires up again when water in pipe drops temperature
its a funny fault because everything ive done indicates nothign obviously wrong...can any one here help please.
