It sounds like you have a faulty thermostat or broken heater element.

SOURCE: Shower goes hot and cold

If you are having trouble only at the one fixture (shower), and no where else, the problem is most likely in the shower valve...which either needs new cartridges, or a complete replacement.
hope this helps

SOURCE: mixer shower connected to combi boiler running hot and cold

Mixing valves usually have a diaphragm inside that keeps the hot and cold separate. If the diaphragm is old it may be allowing the hot and cold to mix improperly at the back of the valve. This is similar to a cross connection (a hot water line tied into a cold line) in your plumbing. Cross connections interfere with the performance of Combination Boilers and Tankless Water heaters due to their having no water storage or a very small buffer tank. The brand of the valve will help as each one is different in their mechanical design. If this is the problem you or a licensed plumber can replace the cartridge in the valve. Refer to your valve's owner's manual for part numbers.

What's wrong with a leaking shower head following new boiler and how do I fix it?

The valves are leaking. It's not the shower head itself. Sometimes shower faucets require special tools to service the valves. If you have thought about new shower valves, now would be a good time to replace. Repair may be half the cost of installation of new. In other words, plumber's time to repair or replace is about the same. Get several quotes. TV show This Old House had one on a replacement. It may be available online. Home Depot or Lowes or Ace Hardware may be able to help, Or similar Hardware outlet in your area.

I have a Potterton Combi Puma 80e When I use the shower the pressure seems to drop and shower goes cold! except when the central heating is on shower works fine

Does the red status led in the centre of the control board come on when hot water is drawn? You need to remove ONLY the front decorative cover to see the control board, two fixing screws at the base of it. If not the boiler won't fire when the CH is off.
The trigger for this is a pressure switch, replacement of which is beyond DIY scope.

you need to change the cartridge, it is a temp control and is going bad so it keeps you from burning yourself it is like a mixing valve and is givng more cold water, that way you don;t get burned,,
