the reason for boiler stopping at such high temp is because the pump may have ceased up or stuck.
Just take a large flat screwdriver & remove centre screw from centre of pump. it will let some water out of it ,just put a small bowl or jug underneath it to catch
water,
this is normal, so dont panic.
you should see the impeler rotating in the pump once screw is removed, if not moving then simply place blade of screwdriver inside the hole & gently tap back of screwdriver with palm of hand or hammer just to try & release the impeler,if sucessful just replace centre screw & check to see if boiler runs better.
