I have a Saunier Duval 60ff, and I can't get it to ignite. I turned the control unit for both HW and CH and it did nothing. It did this before a long time ago and turning it on and off did the trick, but not this time. When turned on it makes no noise at all, no humming, no clicks etc. It's 10 years old, and the fan was replaced about 4 or 5 years ago - but that got noisy before it went last time.
Googling seems to indicate that a common reason for boilers not starting at all is not enough pressure, but I can't see either a pressure gauge or any way to fill it up, and the manual seems to contain little reference other than saying it should be at least 0.7 bar. As far as I know the heating has a header tank in the loft (which does contain water) and the hot water system is mains pressure, so I'm assuming that both of these are adequately pressurised.
We have solar water heating, so the boiler does not do much over the summer, but it has definitely been running in the last week or so - which implies that it hasn't jammed up over a long summer shut down.
Does anyone have any ideas before I try to find an engineer in the morning?
(btw I know they aren't very good boilers - most sites seem to agree on that)
