Last year mum had a new boiler, it developed a fault and stopped working in bad weather. The flue vents from the roof. After 17 (yes 17) call outs eventually a second new boiler was fitted. Now this weekend in the high winds the new boiler has stopped working and won't reset. Could this be a flue problem?

Had a new(ish) worcester yesterday that stopped, and wouldn't reset, found rain water laying inside and had got on the gas valve plug, which sits right on the base and has a channel that runs right under it - what a cr4p design.
It worked fine after being dried out.

Its difficult to guess what the problem actually is.
There are very few of that model fitted with a vertical flue and I have to say I am always suspicious of sonw od these vertical flues as they seem to be easy to let rain water in under less common weather conditions.
