Just thought I'd update on this as I know many people post problems but less people post the causes once they are fixed. Had the plumber round and he diagnosed a restriction in the pipework. Found the flow pipe was almost completely blocked, this led to the flow temperature sensor responding...

I plan to work on cost calculators to include all the little extras, look at variation by location on the UK, and most...
