Have you checked the obvious, gas supply ok, water pressure sufficient within boiler ( the little gauge should read between 1 & 2 bar) ?

Beyond this it may be a thermocouple or gas valve. I'm sure some of the more experienced members will have more to add. Would suggest you try a heating forum or engineer.

If its a combi then possible your condensate pipe has frozen up outside.

Hi its an old baxi solo boiler and seems to be working fine now heating and water are all up to tempurature I'm just hoping its just the wind getting down the flue as the boiler is in my garage and the flue is directly behind it going outside.

Thanks

Mel

Thanks for replying. Dont know about others, but i find it annoying and a waste of time when i type explanations and bother looking up links, only for the OP to never return to the site after making the post.
