I know this is an old boiler but we will be selling the house next spring and the cost estimates for replacing it are prohibitive.
The boiler intermitently does not light. Sometimeds in the morning say the radiators will be cold, the pilot light in the boiler is lit, but the main burner has not come on. Other times the boiler will light from cold but once everything is hot and it switches off, when it re lights the pilot light lights, but the main burner does not come on.
Tapping it or mereley switching itoff then on again causes the main burmer to foire up.
My engineer saya its not the thermosstat as the piulot lights and we habve changed the PCB to no effect. He now thinks its the main gas valve.
This is £300 odd to replace and I would really appreciate a second/third oppinion.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
