Why isnt my boiler working :-s?

-my boiler has decided to break, the pilot flame is off but the pressure is fine and the fan comes on when you turn it on. It is an old gas combi boiler and has never given me any problem, is there an easy (cheap) way to fix it? I cant see any buttons to relight the pilot flame. The three lights on the display are flashing green but when I turn a hot water tap or heating on thye middle one flashes red.

does anyone know whats wrong so I can get it sorted asap because I've had to use a kettle to wash my hair for 3 days!!!

Thanks! :-)Attempt to relight the pilot.



Place the burner knob to the ignition position if it has one.



Press and hold the burner knob for 20-30 seconds to allow the gas to build up.



Press the ignition button and continue to hold the gas button for 30-60 second to allow

the thermocouple to warm up. Then move the gas knob to the main burner position.



Should this fail wait 2 minutes before retrying.



If pilot light will not stay on it is either a thermocouple or gas valve fault. Will need a gas safe engineer.



If you have nothing on the front to relight a pilot light then does your boiler actually have a pilot light?

Need the boiler make and model. If not then there is an ignition fault. Does the boiler fire up in central heating mode?Dave C may be right but i would safely bet the Pilot light is covered in soot and needs a good clean out.I come across this all the time.Call ur local gas man.Simple job and not long to fix.
Answer from David C. had the best answer. Follow his advise. He is very knowledgeable.
surely it wont work if the pilot light is off, as this is what fires the boiler to provide your hot water
David C in wrong. It is wore out. Get a new one.
