I have a Andrews G80 DV gas space heater, I bought it off Ebay and was told it was about 6 months old and had been used very little, but it was too big for the building it was in so the person down sized.
It came with no gas pipe and regulator so I purchased a pipe and regulator (low pressure).
My problem is that it won't light unless I have the top cover off the heater ,you have to turn the fan on first then hold in the gas button, and then press the igniter button but as soon as you let go of the gas button the flame goes out. Can anyone help or give me the phone number of someone who can, I live in Pontefract West Yorks my phone number is 07787950446. thanks.

there isnt really much to the g80 the problem could be a few things there is a thermocouple which holds the gas valve open and also an overheat thermostat which can become rusted, both very easy to replace contact your local andrews sykes depot in leeds they can help.

once you have ignited the heater , keep your finger on the button for about 30 seconds , then let it off . the fire will keep aliight !
