Is the Lynx original with two coluums of lights or the later Lynx II with only one coluum?
What is the last light illuminated show as?
I am not sure what you expect to be able to do whatever we tell you is likely to be the problem! Are you well versed with electronics and hydraulics?
Be aware that your boiler is probably about 12 years old and ready for replacement.

That sounds like the original Lynx !
You said that it only lights two lights? Does it do the same thing on CH and DHW ?
If I remember correctly then the second light is the "demand" light.
If thats correct it implies the flow switch is not allowing it to proceed.
That would be the pump or the flow switch itself at fault.
What are you going to do next?

maybe it could be the pump , as the flow switch is only about 2 years old , also we took off the cable to the mother board from the flow switch and manually connected the two pins so to tell it that the flow switch was on or flowing , it did not light up
No, regardless of what the pump is or is not doing the boiler would proceed with the initiation if you join the flow switch contacts.
You should have told us the full story when you made your first posting!
What else have you done?

It started about two weeks ago ,usually when it was working ok it would heat the water up go to three lights then turn it self to low flame ,but it started to go to two lights then go off when it went down to one light it would start up again , now in the last three days it starts up, on heating and water ,but goes out after about 2 minutes and doesn't come back on unless you wait 5 minutes then turn back on the water
You should check the cold resistance of the temperature sensors!
But I suppose you will probably say you have already done that!
It might also be the famous air flow sensor though. Cold resistance about 1.3 ohms measured at the plug to the PCB !

You seem to know more about boilers than the average user! Most females just call someone the moment it stops working. What job do you do?
Finding a fault is just a matter of following the start up sequence to the point it stops.
Does the sequence above help?

I make bears & soft sculptures. I think i will have to give in and get a new boiler as over the past 2years i have paid out well over £500 (a mother board ,fan, and so on ). The reason i know a little is, i watch and ask questions(some may say it is being nosey)and over the years i have been in mainly male oriantated jobs and its interesting stuff.(british gas will quote me tomorrow)But i did tell him i don't want a gold boiler just a plain one ...lol
