Symptoms:
No main burn

Fan is running
no 'sparking sound' to be heard
The 'cutout' (?) button on the bottom is not out (in the past, the
boiler has occasionally cut out, and this button pops out. Pushing and
holding it in relights the pilot, and then the main burn)

Is the fan transferring the air pressure switch from normally closed to
normally open ?

If the APS isn't changing state, then it won't progress to opening the
pilot and sparking

When I switch it on, and the fan sarts up, there is a delay, and then
a click of sorts. - I think this is the air pressure switch tripping?
But then - nothing

Th "click of sorts" could be the APS and PCB relay moving. It might also
be the click of the pilot gas valve which would happen 'simultaneously'
with those clicks.

Since there is no sparking the chances are that the spark lead is
shorted or the spark generator (PCB module) is kaput. You might be able to
get another clue by seeing if there is any smell of gas from the flue
terminal - this would show that the pilot gas valve has opened.

I think the correct sounds should be
Whirr (the fan) : 5-10 seconds (there are flow restrictors in the APS
tubes) : tick (APS switch)+click (PCB relay)+chonk(pilot gv) :
tick-tick-tick (HT sparker): silence a second or so (pilot lit but
flame sense making up it's mind) : CHONK (main GV) : hiss (gas flowing) :
woomph (gas ignites).
