Ok, my boiler was working fine today, then it made a few rumbles and seemed to just stop, now I have no hot water or heating! So Help!
It looks like the pilot light is not igniting (yes, the red light has appeared) Does anyone have any ideas what/how/why? And how to bloody sort it?
The pressure had reduced but I have put it back up to 1.5 but doesn't appear to have helped any.....so all suggestions apart from have you turned it on and off again are more than welcome  |

Now you have to keep an eye on the pressure dropping again as if it does it often you could have a leak or a problem with a part on the boiler.  "
Thanks Ruggers, I will do...I didn't think about that  |

I jumped in here to late lol, im a heating engineer. keep a check on the pressure as someone else said it if it goes up to the red whilst running its the expansion vessel, if it just goes down you have a leak  |

If it does keep dropping pressure and you cannot find a leak I'd check the pressure relief valve ,could be letting by that's enough testosterone tonight ,well done to you though |
