Just had a phone call about a sabre 25he. Apparently the heating is fine, but the hot water keeps going hot and cold and is impossible to run a bath or have a shower. Although the kitchen hot tap which the customer says is only a couple meters from the boiler isnt affected by the problem. I'm thinking thermistor or blocked plate? Any other suggestions, anyone had the same problem on this boiler?
 
if the tap closest to the boiler runs without a problem, then does it not suggest a restriction in the pipe runs to other taps causing the boiler to cut out because of getting to hot?
does the pump have a speed switch, has it been turned down?
 
I did ask if the flow to the taps was ok, they said it was the same as always but it just runs hot then cold and hot again. So I am guessing the burner is dropping out as it thinks its up to temp. I havnt been there yet, just want to be armed with as much info as possible before going there in the morning.
