I've lit and re-lit the pilot a dozen times but not checked the button was fully out, will try that tomorrow, fingers crossed. The solenoid is a round coil, is there any way to test it within the remit of not being qualified to tinker with gas.... I'm not planning on touching anything I...

The pump being wired up seperate doesn't bother me too much, just meant I had to switch the boier on and off at the electric spur socket otherwise the hum from the pump drove me nuts at night.... would doing that daily cause the gas valve solenoid to fail? I have done a voltage test on the gas...
