Yes it's intermittent it might work for a few hours and then lock out or maybe even a few days. We had the engineer out and he changed the solenoids but this didn't fix it
Yes but it's intermittent it might work for a few hours or even days
Changing all the solenoids is a bit OTT, one may have been at fault but highly unlikely all of them. Intermittent faults often prove to be the most frustrating as more often than not the cooker plays ball while the engineer is attending.
If you go on the Aga/Rayburn website you can book an engineer in for a visit. Unfortunately this is not something I can say for sure is the problem over the phone.

We have just had it serviced by a rayburn engineer and yes it was fine when he was here. Just wondered if there was anything else we could try what about changing the control box?
I agree, but I'm at a loss as what to try next, any suggestions thanks
The fault sequence is loss of flame signal according to the manual. Steady red for 10 secs 1 short flash 4 long flashes then repeated, so we just press the reset button and it fires up. It's more likely to happen if the back door or a window is open and there is a draught
Honestly I can't really suggest anything because the problem could be anywhere at the moment. You say sometimes both burners work for hours and other times days, that suggests to me it's not an oil delivery problem to the cooker but doesn't necessarily mean you don't have a problem at the fuel pump. You could also have with the motor or capacitor that drives the fuel pump. It could also be a control box/box mounting plate. It really is hard to say. If you could catch a video of one of the burners losing flame and going to Lockout that would help me narrow it down a little but again it's still hard to say for sure.
Yes it's on both burners
Ok, if it's the same fault code on both burners that indicates it is fuel related, unlikely to be both photocells, it boxes. I can hear bearings starting to play up, if so on the fuel pump that could be a problem, the pump coupling could be broken and not constantly catching, it could be the pump drive key as well. I'd also check the capacitor as well. When serviced did you notice how thorough they were in cleaning the burner out. It's possible, certainly have seen it many times but not certain the blast tubes are dirty and not reflecting the light to the cells as well. Just another thing to consider.
The report suggests the figures are ok. The boiler side has quite a high O², low CO² and subsequent high excess air, although not what one would usually aim for I'm not convinced it's enough to cause your problem and certainly wouldn't knock both burners out.

Thanks for your help. I will get the engineer back out to check what you mentioned.
Pressure switch is only on the boiler side if I remember correctly?
Thanks for that.
