C'mon Joe, give him the benefit of your expertise. This should be good for a laugh

Go into the CC if you are gas registered. Your fault will require expertise to repair, so that rules out Mr 90.
Cc is the combustion chamber

Sorry about that, thanks for helping out.. I am not registered albeit I have completed the rgi and oftec, So will not endeavour into the areas of the boiler that I am not certified too.. Main thing I need to know is does this problem seem to be a direct boiler type problem or plumbing to the central heating.. I plumbed it and kept the old boiler, so I just want to know if this seems direct boiler related or if maybe my plumbing needs adjusting.
Ok aftter a bit more time with this problem.. I noticed the issue was not the fan but sounded as if it was in the combustion chamber. I then tried vent the boiler for air as it was running an noticed the water almost instantly turned to steam. So that indicated to me the issue was with overheating so it was obviously not circulating correctly.. Turns out the pump was the issue..
