Hi there, If anyone can help me or at least give me some pointers it would be great, as I am seriously stuck.
I do have a technical back ground but my knowledge of central heating is very limited, prior to making a choice on attempting a repair or looking at going down the combi route as a replacement.
My issue is the Potterton suprima I have in my kitchen appears to have limited control, here is the sequence of issues:
It would be my understanding that the temperature control should be set and then all heating and water functions are controlled by the controller up in the bedroom next to the cylinder, this isn't the case though. The time that it runs is not sufficient enough to heat the house or provide hot water, therefore I'm having to continually re-light manually.
If I'm doing something blatantly obvious please do help and let me know.
That aside if its not a quick fix or reoccurring fault then I am looking down the combi route at possibly a Worcester bosch.
Any help or pointers would be great, thank you.

My issue is the Potterton suprima I have in my kitchen appears to have limited control, here is the sequence of issues:
- Controller/Timer upstairs set to heating on and hot water on
- To light, turn temperature control knob to off.
- Fan runs up, ignition, quickly turn knob to desired temperature.
- Boiler will then run for 15-20 mins from cold and then cut out.
- After that boiler states that it has reached temperature and makes an intermittent clicking (relay) noise.
- Attempts to relight and runs pump, cuts out again.
- Repeat first step in order to light again and sequence is repeated(runs for 15-20 mins).
