The pilot light on my burner wont stay lit. I have checked the water and gas supply and both are working fine. There is a small amount of gas getting to the pilot but not enough to sustain a constant burn, as soon as i let go of the ignition dial it goes out!

Not familiiar with this one but if it has one it sounds like the thermocoupler needs replacing that's what opens the main gas valve. Thermocouplers are a safety device. If not heat applied (Pilot) then gas to the appliance/or hob ring is cut off.
