Hi everybody, first time poster on this site so any help appreciated. I'm having a problem with a boiler....has anybody heard of this model before? There isnt a great deal online about it. I'm just looking for some help/ideas before calling out an engineer 
Thanks in advance...
1) Boiler make / model (gas)
British Gas C1
2) What is / is not happening.
When switching the boiler on, it seems to start up (makes noises like its running) but does this for about 10-15 secs then just stops. Immediately after this, the LED above the CH control flashes constantly.
It flashes about once a second. There is no heating.
3) Has ANYTHING else been done or changed recently.
The boiler has been switched off, as the property was unoccupied for a period of about 5 weeks. There was some plumbing work done in the bathroom so there is a chance that the mains was turned off for a short while. However, I know that the system was not drained and the water supply is fine to the property.
4) When did the problem start?
Im not entirely sure. There was no issue with the system 5 weeks ago, its only after trying to get the heating back on that I have noticed a problem.
5) When does it happen? eg, heating coming on or going off.
The problem is trying to get the boiler 'fired up' and working.
6) Anything else you feel may be of relevance.
I cant think of anything but one thing I need to check is if the hot water works. This is my sisters flat who is away at the moment so I'll pop round there this weekend gain and check the hot water. I forgot about that. Doh!
Thanks in advance...
