my ideal classic ff280(fanned balanced gas flue boiler) will only ignite/fire up, when the front cover is gently thumped/tapped near the pilot viewing window. Once fired up it works fine until it turns itself off and won't reignite untill it is tapped in the same place again. Any ideas please.

probally not the calorifier the vessel needs charging is broken then yes a new one if the boiler is installed in a cupboard or somewhere not seen try fitting an external vessel it will be chjeaper
