Hi. I have a Britony Combi SE 100 that has a hot water issue when using the shower. The hot water appears to work fine from all the taps in the house allbeit the taps need to be fully turned on, but when using the shower it fails to light the boiler. I believe this is due to the reduced water flow for the shower. Please help.

Yes, the DHW flow switch is not being activated far enough!

Thanks Tony. Do I need to replace the DHW Flow Switch or is there a seal kit that I can get?
 
It may just need cleaning or it might need replacing.

I've checked the DHW Flow Switch and thats working fine. So I replaced the diaphragm in the 3 way-valve as the plunger did not appear to move far enough down to activate the switch unless the hot water tap was opened fully. The boiler now lights and heats water for the shower but it seems like its only marginally better that before. Could there be another issue?
 
the water throttle at the bottom of the 3 way and change the clappet valve,this is under 3 way and pushes up on 3 way peter
 
Have you tried soaking/cleaning shower rose in lime scale remover and 'pricking' the holes in the rose with a pin/needle or whatever! to increase the flow.
