Just to follow up... The replacement temp probe was faulty. Got another one and everything is working as expected.
Many thanks to those who took the time to reply.

Agreed, although I don't see any problem in changing the temp probe or in pulling the lead off the temp probe on a stone cold boiler while checking the flow pipe with my hand to make sure it's not overheating...
Thanks for your advice but I'm not sure how I am being a prat. I didn't say I had left the boiler running without the temp probe connected.

We have an Ariston Eurocombi A/23 MFFI with a Wilo Gold 50v pump.
We have added a lot of pipework and several more radiators to the system and now the temperature difference across the inlet and outlet on the boiler is nearly 20C (and some of the rads at the end of the run struggle...
