Central heating confusion?

I seem to only get hot radiators while my boiler heats my hot water but as soon as that get to temprature even though my thermostat is calling for heat my radiators go cold I have a potterton f50 boiler. I have replaced the programmer (timer) made no differance. I dont think its the diverter valve as this appears to be working as normal while the water is heating up my radiators work as well but when the hot water is off and i try to turn on the central heating only i get no ignition on the boiler. (programmer shows its on) Please can someone help this is so frustrating.

Thanks I will give that a go and see if theres any power, Thanks will let you know the results.

Check for 240v to the white wire of the diverter, also 240v on the grey wire when HW is/goes off, no power on either/both = wiring fault, power on both = diverter fault.
