I have a baxi 105e and its worked great for 4 years , but just recently after the burner cuts out its started to click once then something inside vibrates for a split second , could this be something about to go ? or does it happen after time ? ( my plumber says dont worry until it stops working !)

No (excessive) vibration is normal. Has the boiler been serviced in the 4 years since installed? A good service engineer should spot where any excess vibration is coming from and either fix it there and then if its straight forward - or advise how much to eliminate the noise if it needs parts. :)
 
Sounds as if it might be partially blocked or scaled.

The immediate suspect is the gauze filter fitted inside the return valve.

Should be on the right hand side but I have often seen them fitted wrongly on the flow instead.

I had it serviced a few months ago and nothing was pointed out to me then. Will this problem cause it to break down eventually?
