Hi got a problem with my boiler, moved in about 8months ago and the boiler is not firing up properly. The boiler is about maybe 20 years old, however there is no booklet! The pilot light will come on after several attempts, however when it is lit it will not ignite and fire up the rest of the boiler to full heat. Hoping for a easy solution and that its not the gas valve. Anybody any ideas?

corgiman said:what color is the knob on the gas valve that you pressed for the pilot? and is it set to the pic of the flame (is its the one I am thinking of that is)
yeah its a cream coloured head to the valve and has a pic of a flame on one side, which you point to the right hand side???

Is the pilot light sufficient to allow flame rectification?
