Baxi Brazilia Heater won't spark up!?

I've got a Baxi Brazilia F8S Wall Heater. All of a sudden it won't spark up!

I can hear the hiss of the gas coming through when I try to turn it on, but it just isn't sparking up for some reason.

I've had the cover off and can see a wire with a connector on the end that apparently goes nowhere and am wondering if this should be attached somewhere, but I can't see any obvious places to attach it to.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,

Will

Thankyou to D.R.

Because of your answer, I now have it working again

Hi Will, the wire you can see is coming from the piezo ignitor and should be connected to the ignition electrode. Or, it may be coming from the electrode to the piezo. The electrode is located close to the pilot pipe, on the pilot assembly, and is white ceramic. The piezo is located at the control valve where you will see a spade connection.
