Ideal standard boiler

[ludvig]

Hi folks.
I have a very similar problem.i have an old ideal standard rs 50 boiler.It has gone out before but relighted fine.Recently pilot light went out it would relight but not stay lit.I bought a new thermocouple as many suggested and fitted it.Pilot light did light ok but main flame will not "kick in".You can hear a click and flame goes out after approx 1 min.Any help greatly appreciated as do not fancy buying a modern one if i can help it.
Merseyside area thanks again.
ps: should there be a seperate immersion so i can at least get hot water,there is a switch by tank but dosent seem to do anything??

When was the boiler last serviced? Should be a simple fix for a competent serviceman as this boiler is not complicated.
