Heating problems   
Hi there.

Well, my boiler isn't firing up for hot water or heating!!

What I know is :-

1. The boiler pump works
2. The system pump works
3. The 3-way electric switch works (and I've just changed the motor).

So I assume (and only assume) it must be the ignition switch on the boiler, 
right??

If so any idea on repair cost, or is it worth joining the British Gas 
service scheme (10 per month) and use their services??

Regards

Matt

Does it have a fan assisted flue?  If so, does the fan work?  Fan failure
will stop the burner lighting, and will probably cost you over 200 if you
get a gas fitter to fit one

Pete - yes it does.  Is changing a fan something I could do myself?
