I have one of these boilers , its 3 years old. It will now only fire up when I remove the large panel covering the front of the combustion chamber. Sounds as though it thinks it has no air when the panel is on. No red light just a green flashing one. Any ideas ?

DO NOT USE THE BOILER WITH THAT PLATE REMOVED
EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
Almost certainly the air intake is blocked so it cannot draw air from inside and into the combustion area.
You were lucky that this boiler has the fan in the extract after the burners. Had it been the other way ( fan before the burners ) you might have filled the house with odourless fumes and been dead before you realised you were dying..

Sometimes I think responses here are a little over dramatic however in this case they replies are correct.
I know what-the problem is, you are not qualified to fix it, get a Gas Safe engineer in to SERVICE it, preferably one who knows Vokeras.
Look in the Glasgow book for T. Cosgrove, he'll fix it and service it properly or private message a poster on here called DP, who similarly will do the job properly.
I do not think it is the problem bernardgreen thinks it is.
Others do not like these boilers but they are as tough as old boots but with two items that need to be included at service time, though not every service and rarely are.

Bernard Green should not have explained what the exact problem is on this public forum.
Possibly he only wrote that to be vague and intentionally so as to not encourage the OP to attempt any unsafe gas work which he is not qualified to do.
DP is easier contacted by his business name Rannock Services.

That was the intention.
jgmoss. You've been told. Up to you. Are you man enough to come back and tell us the result we all expect to hear when you've finished spending your money unnecessarily.
Steve32, I prefer the latest version of what is necessary rather than what is usually doneplus you have it in one, has it been serviced?
Also when it has cost the poster a pretty penny to cure a simple problem it'll be Vokera's fault not that of the short sighted penny pinching attitude he seems to display even though he can chose between two recommended competent engineers in his own city.
