An update on my original issue - //www.diynot.com/forums/plumbing/ignitor-burnt.335632/#2497651
Following unsuccessful diagnosis etc from the initial gas safe chap, I've gone to Potterton and got them to take care of it as part of a 1 yr warranty and repair deal. Based on the parts replaced and time spent so far by their chap, this financially is probably a good move.
However, the latest is that after replacing PCB, gas valve, electrodes and some cabling, he discovered that the boiler would only stay alight with the casing off. It appears that as soon as the case is put on, it cuts out as if it's attempting to suck air from the inside of the casing rather than through the flue.
So, he's now left saying the only thing it can be is an issue with the flue seals. There doesn't appear to be any visible blockages from the outside so, does this sound like the most likely scenario?
The problem now is that of course they (Potterton) don't 'touch flues' so it's now up to me to get someone else to do it or DIY? Can you guys offer advice please?
Much appreciated
