Combi Boiler Problem - Hot Water
I have a Vokera Excell80SP combi boiler and am having a problem with hot water. The central heating works fine, but when you turn on a hot tap you get a limited amount of hot water then it runs cold, but the heating will still function properly. You can only get a little hot water for say, up to a minute when the boiler is switched on to power the central heating. The hot water mode for the boiler also does nothing. Is the boiler broken for hot water or a valve problem or something?

it's the one thing we didn't check when we moved in last october, so a bit frustrating, plus the fact we are also due to renovate the kitchen soon and move/replace the boiler anyway, if only it had lasted a few more months!
british gas came round, diaphragm had gone so arm/lever for hot water in the boiler was not being pushed up to engage the gas when a hot tap was turned on. he also changed some thermistors as the boiler was on high flame all the time - explains are higher gas bills in this new place!
he said it's a common fault with vokera boilers.
