My boiler is fairly old and the pilot light has gone out, it will not re light, there is electricity going to the boiler I have checked the fuses and switches and there is gas going to the boiler. I have got a gas service engineer coming tomorrow but I do not want to be ripped off. I have already made the mistake of saying that if it is too big a job, I would be looking at a new system and I think he will go in that direction even if it is a small job. Could it just be the Therma coupling or something like that?

if you look at the pilot light in the boiler you will see a small rod that is over where the flame would be this is a flame failure device (FLD) this will be the problem not an expensive job really
