And to be fair the landlord is okay but he's sent a heating engineer out a couple of times over the last few years and he said you could do with a new boiler did the fella. These firms that off a 'free boiler' could you go down that route if the landlord agreed?

Why replace the boiler ? it only needs a service and your hot water problems have nothing to do with boiler, its you house plumbing that needs looking at.

What could be the problem with plumbing? I can do that but i dont do boilers- everything seems fine and has been fine no leaks etc?

You got two problems, the boiler needs a service and you have cold water passing into the hot supply probably through a shower or mixer tap.
