have you got the manual? they often have fault finding flow charts in there

other than that, go get an electric heater

Burner "Lockout" due to low pressure.

Try topping up via filling loop to restore pressure to clear.

Air admittance valve?

Wrong AAV, automatic air vent on boilers.

^what lurch says. water was leaking from where the air is supposed to leave
