I serviced the boiler and cleaned the heat exchanger replaced the gasket and now it wont fire up. The reset button is flashing but it does not reset. I've made sure the baffles are correctly inserted. I Noticed the White hose( similar to the one on the air pressure switch) not not connected to anything (one side is sonnected to the back of the fan). Should this be connected to something?

I think your looking at the wrong tube like I was. Its the one connected to the red test point below the flue.

I went to 2 x 24i system boilers installed in a hotel last week. They'd been serviced and issued safety certificates in November but weren't working.
Boiler 1 fan pressure was - 1.5 and boiler 2 was - 1.8. Ended up stripping both boilers down, changing wiring looms, ht leads, gaskets and a new fan. The one gasket was so badly worn that a small flame was heating up the side of the boiler. Removed heat exchanger and after an hours work on each managed to get them something like decent.
The biggest company in the area had been "looking after" these boilers and the owner just kept telling me how they'd worked fine for 6 years implying I was fitting parts I shouldn't!

if fun reads less negative then should be obstruction in flue (or flue to long ) blockage in heat exchanger or fun had packed for holiday ? what was it EPH ?
The heat exchangers were both blocked solid, I've got the Worcester cleaning kit and to be honest if it's below - 4 I get them out as it's much easier to do it's only 20 mins max on the service and worth it long term.
Had to remove both exchangers, flip them upside down, descale around the baffle with hammer and screwdriver then hit the baffle out with quite a lot of force.
