The ignition sequence for mine is as follows:
Thermostat calls for heat. Valves set for water and/or heating Water pump starts Boiler feels water pump pressure, starts fan. Boiler feel sair pressure, turns on pilot and spark Boiler feels hot pilot, turns on main burner.

That's a rather fancy system you have there.
Mine's more: Thermostat calls for heat. Signal from thermostat switches on valve, pump, and boiler simultaneously.
OP is referring to a permanent pilot light system.
Yet this is the one his neighbour bought a year ago?

It did not take long did it Peter.
The average person cannot handle me.
My system is three years old and yes permanent pilot with electronic ignition to the pilot. I have returned home and all was well except when I put the water on the boiler started a small drip but not sure where as it may be further up and running down, I had this drip once before when a tap was being mended, and it stopped after a day or so, it is about one drip per hour. Today this stopped. Not sure what it is maybe pressure release related? I had a lovely break and had no worries about returning to a flooded house. Thanks everyone retarded muppet Lou :-)
