Wall mounted Gloworm gravity feed boiler. I switched off gas to fit a new cooker fixing. No problem there but after switching on gas and attempting to light, the pilot will light while I hold in the button, however as I release after required 30secs it goes out. Don't think I have missed anything (I followed instructions to the word many times) but it has been suggested that a thermocouple fault could be the problem. Sorry do not have boiler number but its one of the small fuel savers approx 14yrs old.
Gloworm pilot will not stay alight

Thanks, the plumber did sort it out as expected a thermocouple. This is the second time it has failed. The only time you ever find out is when the boiler is serviced i.e. switched off. Got a spare now so should be in a position to fix the next time.
