Hello people, first post so don't take the pizz too much please....I'm sensitive.

I went to this boiler the other day and the fella was doing my head in, standing over me asking what i was doing every couple of minutes, you know the type.
Anyway, the pilots lit (looked weak though) there's 230 volts at the gas valve, no gas at the outlet test point and obviously no burner, though the burner on light on the front is lit.
I never checked the resistance on the solenoid (my head was cabbaged a bit by this guy), but like I said the pilot was lit.
I'm pretty sure it's the gas valve but somethings telling me to ask in case I'm missing something.
What do you reckon.

gas safe number 225485

Cheers, I'll do that. In the meantime I'm going with the gas valve after talking to some of the lads in the cc on doughnuts.
 
Just an update, it was the valve. Well, the main solenoid anyway, I would have tested that if the fella hadn't been such a pain. 😡
