Ideal Classic RS30 - Not Lighting

[Manchester]

Hiya, my boiler doesn't seem to be lighting, never mind firing up.

I've tried resetting it, but have ended up pressing the ignition numerous times and the pilot light just doesn't light, you don't see anything through the little peephole.

I've had it suggested to change the thermo coupling, but that would be if it were lighting and then going out wouldn't it? Whereas the pilot light isn't even lighting.

Any suggestions?

It could be various things. You could try checking the voltage to the pilot solenoid...

Anything other than that you'll need an RGI i'm affraid, could be a blocked pilot injector.

Self repair possible? Or do I need to call out a pro?
