Mend Glow-worm Capricorn 240/6 Boiler Heating Pilot Light

glow worm capricorn 240/6 doesn't cut in?

The elderly system above is due to be replaced, but has suddenly stopped producing any heat. Any suggestions? - No hot water and no rads either - the boiler no longer kicks in if you turn the stat up. Is it possible that the pilot has blown out? We did have some high winds (although it's survived worse before). Any idea how old it is too? (Just curious)

system is probably knocking on 25 years old, problem could be several things,blocked pilot,faulty thermocouple, faulty solenoid, if pilot is lit its either electrical fault, boiler stat or gas valve, just to name a few, very old system perhaps think about new!!
