Change the batteries for Duracell even though it is clicking it may not have the power to open the gas valve. This is quite common.

We have the 8L one and have to have the flow on our controller at 60 to get the boiler to fire.

Try turning the flow up.

Or failing that it could be an air lock in the gas pipe or heater itself, try turning the heater on an off a few times with the flow high, may clear it?

I was just about to say the same - rubbish batteries often give this issue, even when brand new.

I'd agree with the last two posts and also add that once you've found the ideal water flow rate and gas flow rate for it to fire then make a couple of marks on the casing so you can get it within range again next time.

Just back from tesco's.put new energizers in it,still no good. Gas bottle is new,regulator changed for a new one,new batts now in and not firing.
Give up,cold water only tomorrow!!

Have you tried altering the flow rate of your water? Either with the valve or your controller? When it's clicking away try opening and closing the flow a touch.

Have you tried turning your pump controller up to maximum & the "flow" know on the heater down near minimum?

Fiddle


Or buy this and fit it

Just to update you all, I changed the batteries and the boiler fired up. The looks like it had enough power to click away and try to ignite but not enough to. Open the valve. Worked in - 5 today no problems.

Thanks for all your help guys

just out of interest ive a fog wash wot mine is doing is intermitant lighting  then tripping out tried flow rate so far on contoler of 30 then on heater water just on then on winter setting then the gas just a quater turn on heater just cant seem to get a happy medium its doing my norps in what have you guys with fog wsh got it set at

I will try that one later,it has been too cold to use today,been trad only all day

Have you all fitted these boilers yourself and if you did how did you know what to do.

Need to get one and fit it and dont know the first thing about setting it up but it cant be rocket science. or Can it ?

no reset as far as i know. i thought maybe the bottle might have frozen overnight  as when i purchased it this morning i noticed the bottles were left out over night. the gas bottle was in the back of my van all day so i imagine it must of warmed the bottle slightly but still no ignition??

lpg dont freeze at british temp. butain freezes

which is which? i have an orange bottle

If you look at heater top right next to flue there's a little button move up and down
have water at min gas high should work
