I have a Glowworm Economy Plus 40 boiler that I am having trouble keeping fired up. When I press the on button the boiler fires up and either clicks off after 2 seconds, sometimes stays on 5 mins or will run for the full hour.
It is the old style boiler with seperate immersion heater 12yrs old.

I have just changed the connector S202095 as it had snapped but that was just a matter of unscrewing it and replacing with the new one.

As I don't have the working instructions does anyone have any suggestions what the fault maybe?

thanks all

Check the Gas Valve does not let by to the pilot when the boiler shuts down.
