(1) gas on , boiler open (2) sitting at 2 bar, (3) for water and heating it locks out in 10 minutes, (4) flame on hob is blue but yellowly-white at tips of flame.
probably ntc thermistors a bit out (cost about £8 each, see install manual for how to replace, its very easy )
although it might be an idea to get your mate to check flue and all its bends and terminals and seals
