I have an Ocean Alpha 240E combi boiler it's about 6/7 yrs old. There seems to be a problem with both the hot water and heating circuit. When the hot water is on it only lasts a short while, then the pump and flame cut out, after a short time both kick in again. The same happens with the heating circuit. This results in lukewarm radiators and very dangerous showers. I've tried cleaning both hot water and heating return filters, but as we are in a soft water area both were spotless. Tried varying the water pressure by closing the mains stop cock slightly but seemed to only work short term. Can anyone help please? :confused:

I have the same problem with the intermittent water and heating... altho I can't help I wondered if anyone gave you any advice thanks
 
The problem that I had turned out to be one of the temperature sensors was on the way out. This is not a big job to change, although a few days after this one of the micro- switches went as well but this only affected the water side of things, again not a big job to change. I don't have the details of the exact items at the moment, but if you need them let me know and I'll try to post as much info as I can.
