Sorry Jmg, I know nothing about LPG boilers but assuming they work in a similar way to a gas combi boiler, then it could need a new diverter valve.

LPG, uses different pressure, that’s all, ( well there’s a bit more but not relevant) , I would also go with diverted valve..

As others I'd also suspect the diverter as the prime suspect.
However, try not to get ripped off. Most diverters have a cheap (ish) rebuild kit. You rarely need a complete replacement.
