Unfortunate owner of Bahama 100 which has had several problems over last few months. Replaced:- Diverter Valve, both boards & flow switches. Also cleaned venturi in the fan which solved the flame cut out at point of ignition. Problem now is that when either central heating or hot water activated the pump runs but there is no ignition. After a few seconds the pump swiches off. In central heating mode this cycle will eventually repeat although after some time. SIT 504 NAC gas valve has never been any problem. Could the problem be the temp. sensors on the main pipe from the heat exchanger one with red the other black wiring? Can't think of anything else other than a Worcester!!! Any ideas would be truly gratefully accepted. Thanks.

I think you might have a problem with the central heating flow sensor, it tends to cause problems with this boiler. it is magnetic, and guess what, so is black deposit in central heating water. You need to isolate water valves to central heating, depressurise boiler, remove and clean sensor being careful not to lose small spring.clean slider and shaft. be aware there are two flow sensors, one on left is the problem I think. cleaning might not work, so a new one is next!
best of luck.
