I had a similar problem with a cb28 and changed both sensors without any improvement , it turned out to be sludge across the Heat Exchanger reducing the flow rate thus causing the boiler to lockout .... has the heating circuit been cleaned ? how old is the installation ? remove a downstairs rad and see what comes out ?
hope this helps

they have been complaining of rads not working aswell. sounds like a good flush might be on the cards.

gave it a flush and its only cut out once since then...

I power flushed it with x400...i put x400 in the system ready to drain and manually flush all the rads in a week or so... looking good tho!
