OK, I've just found the valves, two of them. Both have manual override levers. I tried combinations of none, one and both of them being set to manual, at no point did the pilot light attempt ignition.
Both levers moved smoothly with no real effort, and both 'wound' back to the automatic position when not locked into manual.
Do you think this rules out valves as the problem? What are the other options?
Thanks,
Dan.
