Have an Ariston Euro Combi Boiler, it has just lost its pilot light, i have pressed the ignition several times which re-fires the boiler and pilot light so gas is present but the flame then goes out and the boiler shuts down again.
Why is this? I have topped up the water pressure to over the 2.5 bar minimum but the problem is still present.
Please help we are cold!!!

I have the same boiler, and have had nothing but trouble with it in the last six months... The symptom you are mentioning was the first that we had. Eventually had to have the main PCB replaced, and were without C/H for quite a while. Still not quite right though.

Boiler is awful, I intend to get mine replaced, then take a hammer to it.
