Sounds a bit obvious, but is the electricity supply to it switched on?
Is the fuse in the switch gone?
Do you have the user manual for it and do it mention this problem in the troubleshooting section?

Yes and yes been through it-

Instructions just say to turn off and back on and it will light --nothing else

Is there a gas indication light,I've got a ferolli boiler which wouldn't ignite,the problem was the inlet valve by the meter no gas was being fed,check if you,ve got another gas appliance

Is the fan working? The boiler will not ignite without the fan coming on 1st :old:

What pressure is in there , I remember mine was almost on 0 and wouldn't light. As soon as I put water in the tank to 1.5 it started straight away.
