thorn emi apollo problem

[jjrideon]

hi,

i've got an old thorn emi apollo boiler in my flat...no idea what model it is as there doesnt seem to be any info on it...

the pilot light keeps going out - had a guy come a look at it who thought it was the thermocouple...he bought a universal one with him which obviously wouldn't fit because of the interrupter.

anyway does anyone know a good corgi guy in london (nw2 is where i am) who can change this and check the stats etc. so i dont have any more problems? the guy who came out seemed pretty clueless and isn't corgi registered so i don't want to risk him doing anything to the boiler...of course i'll try and get quotes from a few sources and any details anyone gives me are at my own risk! i'm hoping someone on here knows these boilers well...

any help much appreciated!

Get someone to change t/c , overheat stat & pilot top socket only a few quid for parts
