i have just fixed a very similar problem with my girlfriends boiler (80e) the problem was that the shower was hot for about 3 mins then the boiler kept cutting out so the water went cold then cut in again constantly. The problem was that the air pressure sensor was cutting in and turning the gas off, the remedy was to take the fan assembly out of the boiler and clean out the venturi tubes and jets by means of a vacuum cleaner. I would not recommend doing this yourself unless you are good at taking things apart. the fan assembly must fit back properly or there is a risk of dangerous fumes escaping from the boiler
