Hi Steve

I had the same problem and it turned out to be a tear in the diaphragm.

Boiler Trouble
January 2010
THE BOILER HAS A MINIMUM & MAX FLOW RATE FOR HOT WATER. MEASURED IN LITRE PER MIN.
CHECK YOUR MANUAL FOR FLOW RATES OF YOUR MODEL.THERMISTORS & WATER PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL VALVE DIAPHRAGM ALSO PLAY A PART IN FLOW RATE & TEMP SENSING.

The boiler needs a constant flow rate to make the boiler know it needs to fire up. By slowing the water down the boiler thinks no hot water is required and so shuts down.
