No i have not tried that yet, never had to do it in the past but worth
ago. Have spoke to the gas installer again and he thinks it just needs
purging (or something like that).
many thanks


Old Glowworms have a similar problem. Caused by condensed gungyness from
the gas in the micro porous filter just below the pilot jet. It would
light only with a match when cold, but was OK with the spark when warmed up.

One poster reckoned he fixed his by taking the pilot jet/filter out and
heating it up with a blowlamp to clean the filter.

Just a possiblity.
