Boiler Question- Ariston E-Combi 30

Hi All,
I have an Ariston E-Combi 30, had the PCB replaced recently due to a different problem but now I am experiencing a few issues, hopefully someone will be able to help.
1. Occasionally when opening a hot tap, the boiler will simply not recognise it has happened, and wont ignite at all, this is probably about 30% of the time.
2. When heat is called for from the central heating, more than half of the time the boiler will ignite fine and build up heat but after running properly for a few minutes will go out and the heat and pressure will gradually drop but the pump continues to run for a few minutes, then the process will repeat itself. This is meaning the rads cant heat up fully.
3. Sometimes when the central heating is called for, boiler will start the process of ignition, the pressure will drop slightly and the fan/pump will start but then everything will stop and the pressure will return to normal, this goes on until the boiler is reset.
There are no errors showing on the LED's for any of these problems.
Apologies for the catalogue of errors but if somebody has experienced similar or is a plumber then I would really appreciate some advice, thanks!
