The boiler pilot light goes does not stay on, once the pilot light is

Has anyone got any ideas on what I can check or needs replacing before
going mad and changing all sorts of parts ?


Do you mean that the pilot light will stay lit if the boiler isn't
firing but goes out (and the burners too) after the burner fires?


If so, it could be that the flame failure thermocouple (


Electronic ignition and flame sensing (PCB 202006 or 202052)

I still reckon that on a fuelsaver, the first port of call is the fan if
it's cutting out
