Hi, I have a very old conventional boiler, an Ideal Mexico Super, which I would guess is about 30 years old. This thing, despite its age, has been very reliable, probably due to the simplicity of design.
I am in no doubt that someone will say that it's time to replace it, and I am under no illusion that this would be right.
However, I have a more immediate problem. The pilot light keeps going out, when the boiler is not calling for heat. So I can re-light it, but if the boiler doesn't kick in, the flame dies out again.
Can anyone give me some advice, (without the hard sell) if there is anything I can do to keep this going, until I can seek a new boiler.
Regards
Chris
