Manually lighting pilot light potterton rs 40

[fintylad]

Anyone able to give me a quick run down on this? Do I just unscrew the sight hole cover, hold in the gas button and light?

The pilot light went out the other night and the electrical ignition thing isn't working. Were only in the house for another two weeks or so so don't want to be paying to get it fixed.

Shame on you. Hope the new place your moving to don't have the same attitude!

Hey we're just students, hardly going to pay to fix the landlords boiler lol. Would it be safe to go ahead with the method above?

Call your landlord. He'll pay to get it fixed

There may well be an underlying reason why it went out in the first place. Get on the phone to your LL, thats what you pay for. Good luck.
