I've had the f4/f1 problem on and off loads of times. It's almost invariably the combustion door seal in the end. In fact, mine's just started doing it this year since the boiler was serviced by BG and the combustion door opened to have the exchanger "cleaned". I wish they'd leave the thing sealed up. An old door seal never seals properly once opened but it always takes 2 or 3 visits (with them trying the igniter, etc... to get them to change the seal.
