Mend Apollo 40B Main Burner Cuts

Apollo 40B Main burner cuts out after 10-15 mins?

Pilot lights straight away but I fancy the pilot head needs replacing as its starting to split and its not directing a very good flame at the thermocouple. Once lit the main burner will ignite but will only run for about 10-15 mins. then everything shuts down, including the pilot.

Probably the thermocouple George.These are a strong pilot which can burn right thro the tip of the t/couple.They are a special type though with the interupter so dont just buy a universal because they wont fit.
