I have a problem with my boiler because the pilot light will not stay alight. From what I've read on other posts, it could just be the thermocouple. So I went and bought a new universal one from B&Q for about £5, and fitted it. However it does not appear to have made any difference.
I removed the new thermocouple and examined it and I noticed it has a small fracture near the end of the thin copper pipework (not the probe end). Would this affect the way it works? I thought a thermocouple was an electical device, but then again why does it need the thin copper pipework?
