    Just replace the timeclock. , they dont last forever , on a different note : why on earth would you have your heating timed to come on at 2am

    most likely not a timer fault
    check the wiring to see if they are frayed or burned
    also check if there is any water leaking onto boiler connections
    also check the pump(it may be on the way out)
    if you can unplug the pump and try fire the boiler it will indicate where the fault lies

    maybe just the pump overrunning (pipestat?)

    All good points but she said that it works grand until its set on timer , this points towards the time clock
