silly me, just see you said potterton. Well anyway, It was still a fine guess

Blocked Low Water Pressure Switch

Round thing with 3 wires on it. Drain system, unscrew it, clean it out as best as possible. Any further probs, replace it.
Temp naughty fix, swap wires over

is that the water flow switch with micro switch on if so you reckon it's off the shelf part or ordered if it needs it
