Hi All,
I got called round to Mum's yesterday because 'the boiler pilot won't stay alight'.
I tried it, it lights first push, hold for a while, slow release, pilot goes straight out ;-(
The pilot flame is good and even with an extra flame (gas lighter) on the FFD it still won't 'hold'.
Now this is a pretty old but basic New World (Ascot) CH502 wall mounted b/f boiler and they are going to have the whole system replaced soon, so I was just hoping to get them going till then (well my Corgi mate would actually do the work of course). ;-)
Do the symtoms sound typical for a failed FFD and is there any way I can test it please?
Also, and good / proven suppliers of replacement FFD's please (I would need a replacement at 12:30 on a Sat before a bank holiday eh ..) .. luckily they don't need the heating atm and have an emmersion for hot water ..
All the best ..
