I have similar problems and the more I read the more I think there is a common fault with these Worcester 28i boilers.
1st problem is that when central heating is on and I turn on a hot water tap the gas just goes off and the alarm light flashes - this happens quite a lot but not all the time.
More recently we had low mains pressure & the boiler pressure dropped - this shouldn't happen as the two shouldn't be related (the fill tap is closed).
I've also noticed that the boiler pressure vaires from day to day.
I saw that someone had to replace a diaphragm after three years - does anyone know if a faulty one may show the problems described? Is there anyway the heat exchanger could have some kind of hole in it?
Any help greatly appreceated.
