Radiators seemed very hot so I checked boiler settings. The setting was about 67 degrees however the boiler casing was very hot. Is this normal and I just haven't noticed it before. The boiler Is in a garage and is not enclosed in a silver outer "box"
Outside casing of oil central heating boiler is very hot

It could be that the boiler control thermostat is starting to fail (getting hotter than normal) however your boiler is fited with an Overheat Thermostat which will trip the boiler out before the water boils, in this event the overheat reset button would need to be pressed to get the boiler working again, if this happens you will know that something is definately wrong! in the mean time I would keep monitoring the situation
