Pilot light won't stay on. Ideal E-Type boiler... Very old

[Ritabix]

Hi,

We have a rather old boiler 'Ideal E Type'. It's been good to us since we bought the house 8 years ago. This evening the pilot light went out and won't stay back on. We've tried several times, holding down the gas for 3-4 minutes at a time and nothing?!

We've just sold the house and are due to move next month, so we are hoping we don't have to pay out for a whole new boiler 🙁

Please could someone give us an idea to the problem?

kind Regards

R

You will need to get a qualified engineer, very simple fix though
