no its the condensing model.
But think I'm close to figuring out thanks to you guys.
Think it's either the pump or the flow switch.
Found the halstead manual http://www.freeboilermanuals.com/assets/pdf/halstead/AceHE_installation.pdf
Reading the ignition fault flow chart. Looks like it's the flow switch or pump as the green led is blinking. (sorry if i did not mention this initially) or the pump not triggering the flow switch. I assumed that the boiler would go to lock out and not light if these were faulty. But given it has i'm guess that it's not quite as sequential as this. And the lack of flow/movement is causing the gas valve to shut up shop??? Guessing i can test for voltage at the flow switch pin on the board to see if it's going from NO to NC once the pump has started working? can i also link out the flow switch to see if we flame stays on?

Re your question Yes Glen-Dimplex now own Halsted, along with most cookers & fires, total rip-off if you need tec advise, if you have to call them use customers phone. Still think you have a pump problem or blockage.

A lot of parts for Halsteads are now obsolete, I have a customer with a pin holed plate hex and it needs a few other bits too, some are obsolete and others are a joke...£47 for an AAV!

jts you are the man!

Ended up being the pump. Start capacitor was knackered. Got one from maplins. Was a little large for the pump head housing but just cut a little of the housing out so it poked through the top and then connected the two flexes with connector blocks . Boilers fires like a dream.

Many thanks to everyone that contributed to helping me get there. Steep leaning curve but with your help slowly getting the hang of things
