How can I ignite pilot light for Potterton Flamingo 50s?

Transco changed the gas meter earlier in the week and this caused the pilot light to go out.
I've tried various sequences with the two dials and spark button but can't get the pilot light going again.
As with the people who posted earlier, I have no manual, and there are no instructions on the boiler. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Could be your pilot light thermocouple is not working. Most are universal types and cost about £10. They are simple to remove and fit. Look in your yellow pages under central heating spares for a local supplier.
