the pilot light on my Valliant VCW 242 boiler will not light?

I have checked electrics and all seems ok but can not get pilot to light, lock out reset switch not doing trick and neon is not on anyway. Doesn't sound as though there is any spark. Anyone got an idea as to what the problem might be.

We have gas supply to house as gas cooker is working ok.

How is the water pressure? If this has gone to zero the pilot light will not relight.
