OK, will do when I get home - but my assumption is that it is something
"fundamental", rather than boiler specific. In fact, it may be
completely unrelated to the boiler itself (as it produces hot water
fine).

I'll post the boiler details later on today, but thanks for reading and

It's almost certainly the diverter valve inside the combi.
Make,model and date of installation would be useful.


Its a Potterton Combi 100 - installed approx 6 years ago I believe.


I think that model has a conventional water flow diaphragm and diverter
valve unit. I'm surprised that it is an intermittent fault though.
