Baxi 105e Combi Boiler will not light up?

I have a Baxi 105e....it was workng fine yesterday afternoon but was off for a few hrs during the evening....(it has been -8 outside)

It now won't light (pilot light doesn't even attempt). The initial 'pre sound' you can hear of the boiler attempting to engage the gas etc but it just then gives up and the far left light starts to flash...

I have noticed some water dripping down from the white pipe that comes thru to the boiler from outside....could it be frozen ?

I've tried a system reset...

I'm going to try having a fan heater pointed at the system(pipes) for an hour or so & see if that helps. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thank u

It's fixed ! & working....

After hours of messing around, I pointed a fan heater at the pipes under the boiler....and heated the pipes outside, did a system reset & it fired up.

Much love
