    Had a similar problem... a month ago.. The gas would come on and then I would hear the ignition and then the system would display and 01 error.

    AS it was a new house the builder called in the boiler men... They just changed the Ignition PCB (Printed Circuit board)

    I know its a hastle but the boiler is one of the items I would not mess with.

    I would get the boiler men in for a servcie and repair...

    thanks,

    Niall.

    So when you start it up, does it tick over?
    Pilot light goes on?
    Does it continues to spark after the pilot light goes on?

    90% of the time, it's the pcb.

    Hi sleipnir! it ticks over can't see any pilot light so presume there is no spark reaching it...must be the p.c.b. ..thanks for the quick reponse's!!!

    Its probably not the problem you have but I just thought I would mention it. Tried to start my gas boiler last week and no response , no ticking nothing. Could see the timer clicking on but no response. Boiler just sat there dead. Eventually after taking off covers etc , I remembered the thermostat upstairs, checked it and saw it was set to 10 degrees. I put it up to 24 and the boiler started.. Nearly had an expensive call out to a plumber...
