Shower hot water fluctuates?

Our boiler will heat the hot water up really hot then switch itself off for a bit then click back into action. Net result? Hot then cold then hot then cold shower. Annoying! Central heating off the same boiler is absolutely fine though. Anyone got any ideas? The boiler is made by Ravenheat.

Had the same problem with my 100T. Changed both thermisters still same problem. I have now found the cure. The seals around the boiler case are very poor. I bought closure plate tape from B&Q and sealed all edges. Now working perfectly. May help.
