boiler keeps going out

[arthur-j]

Please bear with me. My first post an i'm an old'un so cannot type fast.

My boiler is also an old Worcester delglow III. Been serviced regularly. Last week the pilot went out. The thermocouple was replaced. The boiler lights but when it goes out so does the pilot and i have to relight it again.

Can anyone say why this is happening. Gasman is away until Thurs and me and the wife dont want to be without heating or hot water.

Boiler is out now so i'm going to light the pilot again.

Many thanks for your help.

Sounds like it needs a good clean to me as it seems the pilot light is lifting off

CORGI job I am afraid
