Got Glow-Worm in. The Gas valve was replaced and the Fan.

Replaced TC but no joy with the Pilot light. I guess it's time to call in the pro's!

Called a few local guys (left messages) and one got back to us. He said he can come and have a look, with no call out charge. For the pilot light not staying on he would change the thermocouple first. (best suggestion he can make without seeing it I guess) To replace the thermocouple he...

nickso, Cheers for that one, The thermocouple the most likely culprit then? If the rest is to get fixed that needs to be sorted first.

Thanks for everyone's help so far. I'm collating the info I've found in this thread and elsewhere on the forum as a list of possible solutions/causes. Pilot Light not working EDIT: Replace thermocouple EDIT: Could be seal underneath the Pilot pulling air in as fan runs Could be the...

hello, I've been reading up on posts regarding this boiler as we have one and it's playing up and has been for some time in certain areas. I'm worried as our list of problems seems to include most if not all of the other problems listed in the forum. 1. Pilot light will not stay on...
