Baxi Boiler cuts in and out a lot?

I have a Baxi SOLO 3 Boiler, I haven't noticed this before so I'm thinking the boiler is not functioning properly. It runs for a few minutes, then the burner and pilot drop out, reignites after approx 10 secs, runs for another 10-15 secs and drops out. This is continuous. Any ideas please?

Mine is doing the same and has just had the pcb and pressure switch replaced to cure another fault (boiler was heating the radiators OK but then would not fire up for 3 or 4 hours). An engineer has attended again today (4th time within a week) and cleaned out the pilot light - still doing it.
