    Shower water runs warm and cold
    Water in kitchen runs hot (very hot), bathroom sink runs hot, bath tub runs hot (when at a low pressure) but the shower runs warm(not hot)and then cold.
    Adjusted temprature on boiler no difference
    Boiler does make an awful racket when shower is running??

    Please anwer Marks questions and we will do our best to help figure this out.

    Now, just a guess, if it's a single handle shower faucet, sounds like you may have a cartridge problem, but more info would definatley help us narrow it done a bit better.
