Managed to get the boiler to fire for CH. Room thermostat was turned down!

Nice trick

But still no hot water.

Diverter valve knacked?

Last night my Vulcan Continental floor standing boiler stopped working.

The pilot light is on but will not fire. The Randall 4033 timer is old
and
has been slowing down/stopping.

So, I had resorted to manually advancing it to an ON position which has
been
fine for about a month.

I have just replaced the timer with a new one and the boiler still fails
to
fire.

So, I guess that it was nothing to do with the timer.

The whole system is approx 23 years old.

What else could it be?
