Hi,

Got that printout out - the pilot light still wont light and just keep
getting the clicking noise.


Ah, so it does have electronic ignition

There are two options (assuming you have gas and no blockage)

Either the pcb isn't powering the pilot valve or the gas valve's not
opening - the most likely reason being that the solenoid has gone open
circuit

You need a meter to check the resistance of the solenoid, and if this is
not open circuit, you need to test that there is mains across it when it
is sparking


Was even thinking of signing upto one of these Heating cover plans but
they wont allow you to sign up and call someone out straight away
