Sorry Kev it wasnt meant to apportion blame just to let you and others know if they ever have any problems. It was my fault anyway as I should have gone into more detail with my description of the problem in the first place. Because when we first tested all the electrics we were getting correct...

Managed to solve the problem, but a little too late after buying a gas valve :roll: . Nevermind, at least it has been diagnosed. After fitting a new gas valve the same symptoms still occured so after some inspiration we tried bypassing the programmer and low and behold boiler starts up. So...

Thanks for yer help! :)

Thanks for the replies guys, now for my next dumb ass question :wink: ..... How can I test the thermostat?

Is there any way to test the solenoid/gas valve, as I have had a quote for a new one which is £145+vat. This would be an expensive error if its not the valve that needs replacing.

Dont worry guys, I deffo wouldnt try this myself!

Am I right in thinking the gas valve contains the solenoid on this model i.e. just one unit. Therefore I will have to replace the whole unit :roll:

Yeah it's deffo balanced, natural draft (so I'm told).

I've got a Gloworm Space Svaer 40B Mk2 balanced flue boiler that has suddenly developed the following fault. When it's switched on it fires up momentarily then cuts out. The pilot light is fine, but the burner will not stay on for more than a second or so. Any suggestions as to the cause? Cheers
