interesting response Agile ie non whatsover. the boiler manual points to blocked pilot or solenoid valve.

Great feedback Blooflame. I was never going to undertake the work myself but now I can challenge my gas engineer's diagnosis. Agile's response was not very useful

thanks Blueflame so would that mean a complete new gas control valve?

Agile thanks for speedy response. Forgot to mention that I have had the boiler serviced by a competant reg gas engineer. He too thought a "good clean" would rectify the problem. However the problem still exists. His recommendation is to see if it gets worse as it's present condition is not...

My boiler is experiencing start up problems. After the fan starts and electrode sparks the pilot light does not ignite for anything up to 25 sparks. Once the pilot does light the main burner kicks in and the boiler runs fine ie once running the pilot kicks in after 1 spark after call for...

I have tried turnibg down the temperature setting and the pilot light remained lit although water only luke warm, Any thoughts anybody? Thanks

My water heater is 13 years old and lately I have been losing the pilot light. Checked through the number of similar problems on this site but I think this problem could be something other than the thermocouple or the pilot burner. The pilot flame when lit is a good 20 mm long and blue so...

Thankyou gas4you. I have taken a more cautious route and set at 2.5 bar. This has improved the situation greatly.

Before I go ahead could someone please comment

The manual says "Max working head 10.3 bar" and the opening pressure on thd T&P valve is 7.0 bar, so I presume I can go ahead!

I have turned the screw clockwise a full turn and the pressure gauge is now 1.9 - it was 1.6. The flow rate has increased to 10.6 l/m from 8.5. Is this OK? Can I increase pressure further or should I reset to original

Can someone please advise whether this is a pressure reducing valve after the main tap and drain. It has the letter Y on the body and the pressure gauge. It is presently at 1.5 bar. Is it adjustable - there is a screw on top of the unit.
