Thanks for your advice Tony, I have re-arranged to air tubes to the pressure switch (one clear, one red) to make them less kinked, unfortunately the fault is after the air pressure switch in the start sequence. I don't believe that the pilot light would light if the air pressure failed? Chris

No, we have two room thermostats and one hot water tank thermostat, it does not matter which one calls for heat, the boiler still fails when the tray containing the PCB etc. is in the correct position, i.e. up against the bottom of the boiler. When the steel Tray containing the PCB and...

Thanks to GforceJames for pointing me in the direction of 'flame rectification'. Unfortunately the boiler is still playing up. I did a quick Google and found that 'flame rectification' requires a good earth and the wire from the electrode is very fussy (you want it to be as far from any...
