I am having a problem with my boiler. It has been stop starting for a while, it goes through the correct ignition sequence but then what appears to be randomly the main flame goes out, the pilot stays lit but it tries to send a spark to the piot again to reignite it. The the main flame will come on again after either a few seconds or a few minutes.
Yesterday it got a bit worse, the piot lights but it just keeps sending a spark to it as if it is not alight. It did this for a few hours after we noticed the radiators were not getting hot. In the afternoon it reverted back to start stopping again.
In my old house I had a similar problem and after getting someone in to look at it, the Printed Circuit Board was replaced, this cost over 500 quid though so just want to check what I can before getting someone in to have a look at it.
There does seem to be a fair bit of air in the system as you can hear it rushing through the pump inthe airing cupboard, I'm not sure if this could at all be related.
