My ferolli boiler occasionally suffers a fault whereby it will fire up and go out, fire up and go out and so on and so on. This used to be just when there was a call for hot water but have now noticed it does it when the central heating is running. I have had the manafacturers engineer out who doesn't seem to be able to permanently rectify the problem citing several causes ranging from, dodgy flue, poor flow rate etc. Any suggestions??

I would just like to ask you to check the flue elbow is on right ,is it the squarish type screws down in each corner
 
Have worked on ferrolis with similar problem and found the same causes your engineer quoted. When you go fault finding and you see a boiler that has not been serviced properly, rads and pipes full of carp and the pump half dead, it is kind of hard to tell which of the problems is causing which fault.

I am disappointed that the manufacturer's engineer was apparently unable to identify the problem.

Why dont you call them again and complain???

Try taking the casing off, if it works ok suspect the flue joints
