I'm having a few problems with my boiler at the moment. The burner light comes on when I select CH, but then goes off after about 3 seconds. A few seconds later it kicks back in again for another 3 seconds. and so on. This is taking the Ch ages to get worm and because the burner is being switched on and off loads of times, the burner failure light keeps coming on and befor eoyu know it, its bloody freezing. Its not very nice when you're taking a shower too!! Can anyone help me, or do I have to call an expert in?

My money is on the low pressure setting of the gas valve. a common fault on these is the modureg works loose so when it fires on central heating and goes to low flame, it extinguishes. A competent CORGI man will be able to adjust and there should be no need for new parts.

Thanks for the info. Had a quick look last night at the gas meter and it looks like it is being switched on and off, so that to me (a layman) looks as though it is the valve letting in gas to the boiler. Is that right? Can I not perform any procedure to check, or do I get a man in to do it for me?
