I'm not a Corgi or a Gas engineer... and neither of them could fix my boiler when it broke.
(So I didnt have a callout charge to pay).

I had a similar problem to Russ, the pilot went out & would not light, although the Gas supply was OK.

In the end I noticed that the fan was not turning as it should & hence no extraction was happening so no air was being bought into the unit.

With a bit of electrical tracing, I found that the relay on the control board had badly corroded contacts.

Replacing that & it sprang back into life, only to die the same way again three years later. So this time when I replaced the relay I also added some extra circuitry to reduce the arcing when it operated.

Its been fine for years now, although I suppose it could do with a service/cleanout.

Reading the installation manual, its actually quite amazing how simple the things actually are & understandable in thier operation. So the monopoly (OK, I mean "law") on "Corgi engineers only" fixing your boilers doesnt always mean that they can.

How come you had to reboot your gas meter? how on earth does it work? I have never heard of a Gas meter that has the slightest possibility of needing owt like that. But then mines an old model.
