had a simalar problem with pressure droping. i noticed the installer had put central heating control knob to max. I reduced the temp by half & boiler now works fine.

Also have the same problem and have follwed the installation and commision document. I think it is the PCB that is at fault as the water will not turn off . The way the system is set it will always provide hot water first so if pump does not turn off then it will not switch to heating mode. This is why no lights flash because technically there is no fault. Dont know if this is any use
