i had this fault that became more and prevalent until it tripped daily. I noticed that when I disconnected the pump feed (be careful as live!) the realy that switches the pump clicked and the boiler sprung into life. I evetually resoldered the connections for that relay and is now okay. I inspected the baord and there was no obvious dry joints but resoldering seems to have done the trick
