Hi Folks,
I'm sure I saw a similiar problem to this ages ago on this site but can't find it so apologies if I'm repeating.........In short the pilot light is going out when I switch on the central heating. It can run for a few hours or a few minutes then the pilot will click off. I checked the fan(operating correctly....2 speeds), thouroughly cleaned the venturi and replaced the pressure diff switch (although i could here it engaging) before I realised that its only the heating and not the DHW thats causing the outage. The main heat exchanger does show signs of leakage and over a few weeks the system slowly loses pressure ( I'm presuming the drips are flashing off.... so that does need replacing) but would this affect the heating? DP helped me out a few years ago with a site visit which cured all ails at the time which was much appreciated ....but bu**er me if i don't want to fix it myself!!!!!! Any pointers would be most welcome.........
