pilot light

[jeepman]

i got a convec britony 11a hotwater boiler
the pilot light when out and now i cant even got even see the spark to relight it and even when i could the boiler still never fired up
can anyone give me any idea as to why it is doing this
also can anyone change a thermocoupling if it is this or do you need a plumber to do it

Worst case scenario on a britony is the water section has leaked into the gas section causing initialy a blockage secondary a dangerous situation.
If it not lighting then they are not the easiest to strip and will need a couple of special tools to clean pilot or change t/couple.
so best get someone who knows them out
