Powermax 140 Boiler. No HW or CH in Timed Mode

I have a Range (/Potterton) Powermax 140 boiler.

If I set it to give constatnt hot water it fires up fine and I have my hot water a few minutes later.

However if I switch to 'timed' mode it will not fire up at all. The red lights come on and go off according to the times set but nothing else happens.

I have tried switching off the power and leaving for ten minutes as well as resetting thr programmer to factory settings.

Can I save my landlord the cost of an engineer?
