The pilot light comes on and the boiler ticks but does not ignite the main burner. The ticking gets noisier and turns into a loud hum but still doesn't light. Does anyone know what might be causing it? I know the boiler is old but ideally I don't want to replace it at the moment

Thanks for replying to my post. I am in Rugby so it is probably a bit far for you to come. If you are willing to sell the part I have a gas engineer who can fit it. He has tried to find one locally but hasn't been sucessful. You can either call me on 07977 496996 or drop me an email...

Bengasman I didn't want to hijack you. I thought as this thread was so old you would be sorted by now. I think I am going to have to bite the bullet and get a new bolier. It looks like these valves are as rare as hens teeth

Looking at all the posts I might be looking for the impossible. Does anyone have a gas valve for a Potterton Netaheat 10/16? The GC no of the front panel is 4160167.
