Hello,
I have a Thorn EMI Apollo boiler and the pilot light gave me some trouble last year but it finnaly stayed lit throughout the winter. This year however i could not get it to stay lit. I replaced the thermocouple, and the pilot still wont stay lit. I fitted the thermocouple as i saw it but should the two ends be connected loosely or firmly or doesn't it matter? The End of the thermo couple is in the flame and does glow red. Any ideas i could try?, short of calling out a professional?
suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Pete
