I have a worster bosch combi boiler.
When I just use hot water everything is fine. If I turn the central heating on the boiler bubbles like crazy and tries to light with a booming noise.
It then fails and turns on the reset.
I have searched through various areas including this site and come to the conclusion the condensate is blocked.
Could this be the white plastic pipe that comes out of the bottom of the boiler and goes out through the wall?
I can't separate the joints, I assume it has been glued together.
It is possible it is frozen just outside the house.
If it is this pipe might just pulling it apart solve the problem and let the condensate go into a bowl in the room?
 
Too late I have managed to get the pipe off the bottom of the small tank, there was a small spray of water and now the system is working perfectly. I just have to, somehow, clear the pipe. I think the best way as It goes through a few bends is to cut it just inside the wall and clear it then get a double female for the plastic pipe.

And now you have the possibility of carbon monoxide entering the property from the boilers condense trap. Please turn the boiler off and get an engineer out to make sure that it is done properly.
