Default Potterton Profile pilot light is always on

Hello All

Does anybody have any ideas why the pilot light on my profile 50e
never goes out - even if I switch off the electric?

My guess is the pilot gas valve is either sticking or worn out. The
boiler fires up as normal, with both solenoids click and clunking.
There are no ignition clicks though - but I guess thats because the
pilot flame has already been detected.

Is there anything I can do to fix the problem? I'm pretty capable and
have fixed other parts of the boiler but I don't want to have to mess
with the gas supply for obvious reasons!

Thanks
Clive
