There must be voltage there when I switch it off then back on again it makes the normal noises

The actual flue only looks to be about 4/5 inchs across it goes straight out of the wall and has a big 12" square grill type thing. Sorry my info is not that helpful I expect :(

The wiring diagram inside the cover tells me its a Myson 15/30 30/50 40 and 50/65 I dont know how to find out which one it is tho it does have the programmer built in if that is any help.

With the fantastic help of people on this forum I did replace a solenoid in the boiler about a year ago but I doubt that that has any relevance it just fixed the problem at the time

The lever on the motorised valve does not seem to do anything it just flops about. Could it be the motorised valve I have just a little knowledge on these things and was going to remove the valve and have a look at it. I am a qualified sparks just not a heating engineer

I think it is just a standard boiler it has been in since the house was built so is about 20 years old would that give you an indication. To all apparent purposes the boiler works fine it acts as if nothing has been switched on happily ticking away on pilot

Are there any experts around that can help me with a boiler problem. The pilot light is on but it refuses to ignite. No heating no hot water. Pump running ok and there is power to the motorised valve cos it ticks now and again. Any advice would be gratefully received. The boiler is a Myson...

namsag Just to say solenoid delivered and fitted. Boiler burst into life and my house is warm again. Thanks very much for your help it was greatly appreciated.

You are a gentleman and a scholar. If there is ever anything I can do for you please let me know. Your help has been invaluable but I wont give you a big kiss people will only talk :lol:

Yes it is strange the only way I could get anything on my boiler from parts arena was to put the GC number into search and that found it but its not in the Myson/ Apollo list.

Yes you were right an L sort of sprung clip held it on (cunningly concealed I may add) :lol: whoopee I got the damned thing off all I need to do now is try to get a new one, which on the parts arena site seems like I might struggle.

Chris R The test light yes drastic I know but I was not 100% sure on my avo so after checking that it did not go thru any pcb boards I checked it with a bulb. I had already put the avo across the solenoid, no circuit at all and I had already put an amp meter in line to see if there was any...

The solenoid is about inch and a half long and just over an inch across. It can be spun 360 degrees if the wiring is disconnected. The coil actually sits in a U shaped metal case and the centre shaft goes through each end of the U shape. Shame I cant seem to attach a picture. When I search...

Thanks for your help, I cannot find a clip to get this solenoid off and I tried to attach a picture but failed miserably. Any suggestions. I also went to the site you suggested and I went through the parts list for this boiler and can only find the number for a gas valve. Is there a chance I...

I have actually done a bit of testing. On the gas valve is a solenoid. This has mains voltage at it but when connected or disconnected the solenoid appears to be open circuit. I assume this solenoid opens the gas valve (I am a sparks not a boiler man) The solenoid turns on the shaft but I...

No joy I am afraid. I even went as far as closing it right down. I can hear the fan stop when the mains are turned off. Pilot relights fine but it wont kick up. I suppose now I have the job of finding a heating engineer on a Saturday afternoon, that will be easy of course :lol:

I actually did this yesterday, more bby accident than design and again the pilot relit ok but the boiler did not fire up I will go and do this again now. Thanks for your help

Is it easy to fit a new one ? Can I hit it with a hammer to loosen it :lol: Is it a job I can do my self ? I am an electrician not a boiler engineer. Lastly is it expensive ?

Hi everybody, I have a problem my boiler will not fire up. I have a pilot light but when I run the hot water or turn the stat up the boiler does not fire up like it should. My house is only 18 years old so I assume the boiler has been there since it was built. I have had this a couple...

Yet another stupid question from an extremely novice tiler lol. I have done a lot of tiling lately as I have moved house and I have the most ridiculous question that you lot will take the mick out of. Whenever I grout for some reason no matter what grout I use or how careful I try to be the...
