I've read around a little and have checked that the fan is working and pressure is being released but it's not lighting. It's been a bit on/off the last month or so. I also noticed that the reset/thermal cut out button is pressed in and stuck there (i can pull it out but then it goes straight back in) though it's been stuck like that for years and been working fine. What's wrong? how do i fix it?

it'll more than likely be a blocked injector or the ignition lead is shorting out. the leads shorting out on these is very common. a bit more in depth and it could be a faulty pcb or gas valve but 9 times out of 10 it's one of the first 2.

To second the above, I have had both these problems over the years. The lead shorted out because it had been nipped by the cover going back on, and was not resting against the foam/sponge (depending on what model you have).
