Any plumber/gas men? Boiler question

[miguel38]

Hi all,

I'm having a little issue with our boiler, the pilot light wont stay on - ive just put a new thermocouple on but that hasnt changed anything, Tbh i dont really have a clue about them.

Any ideas what it could be?
The boiler is fairly old.

When mine did this it was caused by the fan being faulty. There is a saftey device that starts a fan to take fumes out and if it doesn't fire then nor will the boiler and I think on some it turns the pilot off as well.

Mine's a very old boiler too BTW
