are you saying the boiler locks out and you have to reset using reset button or that the burner will light then go out completely and the relight?

dosent stay on longer than 20 to 30 sec although there is hot water .

every plumber we call all say call who ever fitted it but we dont know who fitted it .
i give them the symptoms and they never show up

Its unlikely to be a common boiler in your area and its quite possible that they just know nothing about your model and they dont want to waste your time or their's if they think there is little chance of fixing it.

Its a simple problem and would take me about 10-15 minutes I expect. But you are 160 miles away!!!

Where exactly are you?

Where is Rama ?

could be a number of things but it will require a corgi engerneer to repair it tho. i have had experience with this boiler before. It could be sludged up if it is installed onto an existing system(old rads). or it could be a thermistor problem. Like i siad if will require a corgi reg plumber to repair it.
