Could it be because your boiler is not worth repairing and spares are hard to come by? Seriously, time for a new one.

It is a wiring problem.
The boiler will need a permanent live to give hot water on demand.

The info you have posted is relevent to the Riello oil Burner, but if its a Camray 5 Combi, then it isn't that old really, I would suggest you get an OFTEC Registered Service Engineer in to have a looky see, I suspect a wiring fault when your Grasslin Timeswitch was fitted, Boulter (Now Worcester) did make an Electronic Timeswitch that fitted inside the Control panel on the boiler (cost about £70)
