Should be posted in oil & solid fuel.
What Riello is it? Be careful the cover isn't crushing a badly placed oil hose or moving a loose wire.

Are we talking rdb with red cover or R40 series G5 with aluminium balanced flue cover, if it is the balnced flue cover on the g5 it could be recirculating its own flue gases caused by failed flue seal.

What co2 is it kicking out? Any signs of sooting?

Don't mean to be cheeky, my suggestion is visit This Web Site and look up a local specialist in service and repair of oil boilers.

My guess is it's the one with the aluminium cover. Flue seals will need replacing. You need an engineer to dismantle the flue and replace the seals.
