Morning John I've solved the problem. What I omitted to say was that the boiler is housed in a small barn attatched to the house. On thursday morning I sprayed the internals of the control box with WD40 just in case it was moisture causing the problem. In fact I sprayed the terminals and all...

hi John and Boilerman2 Many thanks for your advice. Down to me to make some decisions. Will post when I finally get this thing sorted and what the outcome was Best regards Rodders

John My volt stick only lights up. There is no light on the stick when it's touching either the solenoid OR the feed cable. So,does that mean it's likely to be no signal from the box when the cable is also dead?The same applies when the stick does light, it can be on the sol. or the cable...

morning John You are spot on! Every time the the burner fails to ignite and locks-out it happens when the coil isn't energised. Without fail,when it's energised,the burner fires.Well done on the light stick tip-so clear! So,is it definitely the coil breaking down(remember this one's brand...
