Mend Potterton Puma 100 Heating Thermocouple Gas Valve

Potterton Puma 100, pilot light problem?

My pilot light keeps going out, only after water use, shower bath or sink full of water. I can here the gas valve shutting off about 5-10 seconds after the main burners go out. It re-lights straight away, no problem. I've replaced the thermocouple, pilot burner and electrode.
Everything points towards the thermocouple but it's brand new!
