Flossie, I get the impression that you're located in the UK somewhere, as I've never heard of anything of this nature in the US. As far as everything that I've ever had the chance to work on, no as flame will come on without either a pilot flame or a glo plug. One of these two things has to be present period. If you have a pilot apparatus that has no flame going, then if you want to attempt to relight, you must follow the instructions on the panel of the tank you're working on. It generally goes like this. First, turnoff the gas valve for about 5 minutes. I assume this is to let everything settle inside the valve. Next, turn the valve knob, on top, to the pilot position. Then, while holding this knob down, put some sort of a flame source near the pilot burner, it should light and hold as long as you hold the knob in a down position. This is recommended for at least 60 seconds on most units. After that period of time you may release the knob slowly to it's up position. The pilot flame should continue to burn after the knob is released, make a visual check to be sure this is the case. If so, then slowly turn the knob to the on position on the top of the valve. This should light the burner, if the temperature desired is set higher than the current temp. of the water in the tank. If it doesn't light and the temp. IS set higher than the temp. of the water, then the valve is most likely no good. This will require that the valve, at least, be changed, ..... a job for a qualified water heater tech., not a homeowner.

Sometimes the basic instructions are on the inside of the cover panel.
Combination boilers don't have a pilot light though, they auto-ignite on demand. Not sure if your boiler is one of these. If it won't auto-light then it could have failed it's self-diagnostics and so not lighting is a safety measure.
On a conventional boiler, if the pilot light has gone out you should investigate why - maybe the gas pressure is low, which could be dangerous. Maybe something is blocked with soot. If you do sucessfully re-light it, keep a check on it for a while.

i am not familiar with your boiler, but generally there are 2 buttons, one is avale which allows gas to flow to the pilot light, the other is the igniter button.Hold the gas button down while pressing repeatedly the igniter button, when the pilot lights keep your finger on the gas button for about 30 seconds, this heats up a thermocouple which then allows the gas to flow continuously. If there is no igniter button then use a match in the same manner

put the dial to its lowest setting (1) then push the dial in and push the ignition button so that the pilot light now heres the clever bit yiou have to hold that button down for at least 1 minute before you let go and voila the pilot stays lit hope this helps most plumbers have a min £50 call out my call out is a mere ten points thatnks :)

web search your boiler type for the instruction book!
