Mend Sime Friendly Format 80e Heating Hot Water System

my sime boiler flame goes out but the pump is stil running?

the flame comes on for about 20 seconds and then goes out but the pump is still running ,it stays lit if the hot water tap is turned on , but that is no good for warming the house. i have had this boiler for 7 years and every year something packs up , it has had 3 diverter valves and some electronic thing , sorry i cannot be more specific . the model is friendly format 80e

For my sime 60 problem I called in an engineer. The problem was that the system simply needed to be repressurised! I understand that systems like this lose pressure over time and repressurising is then needed. I am very thankful that the professional engineer that solved the problem also educated me about this matter for the future.

I also have a similar problem. My boiler is also about 7 years old, a sime super four. Pump is running but no flame. I have to switch it off, reset it, wait and the turn it on again. A pressure drop (cannot find the leak in the central heating system) and therefore suspect the boiler. Can anybody help or know of a boiler service company specialises in sime boilers.
