Pilot Light Problem

[KibaEginhard]

HELP!

Glow Worm Compact 80p...was fixed today as we had no heating for almost a week...was fine for about an hour...but pilot light has gone out and can't get it back on.

Any ideas on how to get it back on??

Okay we got the pilot light on again...but if we have the heating on, the pilot light dies again after about 20-30 minutes.

Any ideas on that one?

pilot partially blocked or t/couple. on its way out.

Could also after that time be overheating and tripping out due to a faulty boiler stat/sensor

I think you may be right namsag.

It seems that if we turn the heating up any higher than about 15C (so the thermostat clicks and the boiler actually has to do something) the radiators get stupidly hot and then the pilot light just clicks and goes out.
