I should have read the post more closely
Has the flow rate screw on the side of the diverter been set to give the correct flow rate?

As suggested before, service important. While you will no doubt have fitted the appropriate part with reasonable care, most likely correctly too, understanding boiler operation is the key to get it running correctly.
This skill level is honed over time - some are good at it, other think they are good at it many resort to "poke and hope" technique that might get the appliance working
Am sure the issue with your boiler is minor but does need someone with good working knowledge of this boiler. You location might help. Whoever comes to look at the boiler, ask if they could tell you how the boiler sequences. If they cannot, look for Another.

Flameport i do believe your correct, i`ll learn from it.
45yearsagasman, i didn`t touch the flow rate screw, but thanks anyway.
DP i understand what your saying, Even though i have done everything from the installation book, understanding the sequence of how things work is pobably the issue. i will eventually get someone to have a look at it. Thanks for your help everyone, i appreciate the advice very much.

Thanks for your response DP. The one in the boiler i believe is faulty, the
pin in the central heatin manifold will not go in when i run the hot water.
I have read in manuals the they some times get affected by detrstus and
the filter clogs up. I tried cleaning out, and when i put it back in the DHW
worked fine, but next day the ch manifold struggled to go in again. Could
it otherwise be a flow problem, as the DHW ignites when i push the
switch with my finger.

I'll be blatantly honest with you my friend, as I feel the others are letting you off lightly. STOP PLAYING WITH THE BOILER.
I understand the money issue, hell I fitted all my own cctv and alarm systems rather than pay out money, I've no idea when it comes to IT, but I've got some knowledge of wiring and engineering.
I have no idea what you do for a living, but as stated before you are messing around with the combustion chamber and could be poisoning yourself as you read this (albeit probably very slowly and in the cold)
It's a vokera, it's 20/80 flowmatic, it's time to bite the bullet before you kick the bucket.

Wongfeifox, I disagree with some of your post and agree also with other points you make.
Age or model of boiler does not mean it has to be ripped off the wall and tossed in the landfill. Good boiler that responds well to a bit of TLC. If the boiler is falling apart and needs constant attention, then makes sense to replace it. Have replaced a four year old and some considerably older ones as constant repairs warranted replacement.
Yet have seen people replace appliances because they have been throwing parts at it without knowing what is wrong. This seems to be the case with Vinneyboy, who would be well advised to seek professional assistance to get this boiler working instead of tinkering with it as there are adjustments and check some so called heating engineers would not be aware of..
Have many customers with Flowmatic, Have had to take some Flowmatics out as these were falling apart hence required replaced.

Wongfeifox, Thanks for your well meaning comment about messing with
the boiler. Let me just say, that i don`t mess about with anything that
may and could be dangerous, without having some knowledge of how it
works and folowing instructions to the letter,, in this case i read and
followed the instructions from vokera own installation manual, and i am
confident that i have fitted components ( 3 PORT DIVERTER VALVE,,
MAIN HEAT EXCHANGER, about 3 years ago.. PRESSURE GAUGE, DHW
THERM, FAN. In no way am i saying that following instruction from a
manual makes me a now it all, far from it, but i didnt do this with my eyes
closed, Apart from the DHW- not working when you run the tap, but will
work when CH is on - The boiler is working better than it has done for a
years. Mind you it`s been about 7 years since i last had it serviced, and if
remember rightly, that only lasted between 20 or 30 minutes. Like i said, i
will get it serviced as soon as i can. Thanks to everybody for their
comments, ive been given a mild rollicking with all comments, well
meaning, so hopefully i won`t be coming on here again, i say that with
respect of course. Take care everybody and hope you all have nice xmas.
