Never had a pilot light!

I'd be interested to know what proportion of new boilers have
them...

I've never had a new boiler. I take it they start with an
electric spark like modern cookers? I've never known a cooker
sparker to wear out, so I guess the boilers don't either?

Well you are not that knowledgeable are you really? Petrol cars
have "sparkers" AKA spark plugs, and if you drive, then you know
that they wear out quite regularly - so why wouldn't those used
on boilers and cookers be any different?

You are a little tinker aren't you with your teasing little
idiocies? It's great to see that you really enjoy being laughed
at or the
butt of many jokes and obscenities.

I'm currently laughing at you, as you don't seem to realise that a
car spark plug operates 1000s of times a minute. Your boiler
doesn't start that many times in a day.

You have yet to realise that the principle is the same and erosion
occurs at the tips of both.

My boiler fires up quite often during the day and the boiler
igniter has been replaced on several occasions due spark erosion
at the tip. Never mind, you'll still be laughed at and be the butt of
jokes and
abuse simply because of your idiocies while you still continue to
post as you do.

"Quit often" is probably say thirty times a day. If you drive your
car for half an hour each day, that's 45000 sparks from each plug a
day. So your boiler spark plug should last 1500 times longer than
your car spark plug.

I doubt it old son - I drive a diesel and to the best of my
knowledge, the don't have spark plugs. They do have four glow plugs
though, and while you're spouting inane statistics, I wonder if you
could tell me how many times they fire per cycle of a four stroke
engine, per cylinder? LAMAO as usual, your facts lack one important
thing - accuracy,
which just in case you don't understand the word, there are two
dictionary definitions of it below:

1 - The fact of being exact or correct
2 - The ability to do something without making mistakes

You said "Petrol cars" above, that's what we're comparing to boilers,
because they make sparks like boilers. FFS you're forgetful.

There you go again! Cussing just to object to a sensible analogy that was
made to compare two different types of sparking plugs.

Illiterate sod.

Are you one of those religious ****wits who thinks a swearword is wrong and bad in some way?
