Worcester boiler keep knocking off on windy days

[Gaz1966]

Hi, got a green star 24i/28i junior, that what it says on booklet..

Anyone got a clue why our boiler gets knocked off by wind, its a real pain as you can imagine, any info will be greatly appreciated..
I've thought it maybe something to do with the outside vent pipe being the wrong kind? Dunno just grabbing at straws..:willy_nilly:

Thanks for looking

Hi got a pain of a problem with our boiler, it keeps turning itself off when it's windy, constantly have to reset it, works great when it's on, plenty of hot tap water, C/heating working ok, it's just the damn thing keeps turning itself off...
i've thought it might have the wrong outside vent fitted?? Dunno just grabbing at straws really..:willy_nilly:..
Anyone got a clue???...

Is it a new installation? Or just started happening after a few years?

Hi pal,
boiler is approx 6yrs old, we inherited this problem from previous owners that did'nt inform us of this fault, been in property approx 3yrs, never been able to get it sorted, had a muppet from british gas out but he would'nt svc it cos it had a known fault, i've had to replace the plastic multi-junction pipe that goes to the heat exchanger the part with the temp sensor in it, (pin hole) spraying water everywhere..
We had this wind issue long before that pipe unit burst tho..
