Got Glow-Worm in. The Gas valve was replaced and the Fan.

Replaced TC but no joy with the Pilot light. I guess it's time to call in the pro's!

Called a few local guys (left messages) and one got back to us. He said he can come and have a look, with no call out charge. For the pilot light not staying on he would change the thermocouple first. (best suggestion he can make without seeing it I guess) To replace the thermocouple he...
