Potterton profile 50e not lighting?

Please help - My pilot light has gone out and I have tried pushing in the switch underneath - but it hasn't tripped so I am unable to push it in. Any ideas to anything else cos it bloomin freezing!
Bluesbell, February 2009
When the timer/programmer and either of the thermostats for room heating or hot water ask for heat the first thing to happen is the fan running - then the fan operates a pressure switch - then the pilot light lights - then the main burner fires up.

Switch it all off and switch it on again - make sure the programmer is calling for heat - listen for the fan running.

If not go to bed early and use Yellow pages to call out a boiler engineer.

Good luck...
