Does anyone know what might be the fault with an Alpha 240P Comi Boiler that now does not ignite. For some time now the pilot light has been going out so I have had to manually re-light. It ususally take ages for it to catch. Now I cannot get it to light. I cannot now hear it trying to light and dont see a spark. Please tell me you can help.

When u push in the ign button it holds open pilot gas and operates a microswitch. The metal lever which transfrers the force to the microswitch can need a tweak to make it operate the microswitch. Make sure it is doing so, or bipass it to test and push microswitch manual. That gets u past this stage and then u are with the other advise if it still doesn't clack clack clack.
The part is probabli exensive as it is with wiring loomb quite an assembli. Best to try bending metal padel first.
Then you have to find out why pilot going out. A corgi person would clean or renew the pilot jet to start with.

I came across the same fault. Even though these boilers have electronic ignition, there is still a pilot light and thermocouple. In this instance it was a faulty thermocouple, and once replaced the boiler was fine. I'd also check and clean the pilot jet at the same time.
