when I last used my oven, the whole cooker was very hot to touch even the knobs to turn it off was hot, then when I used it last night, the oven would not fire up, so now I cant use it, this is the second cooker that has done this this year, do you think to much gas is coming in and getting to hot that it is burning the thermastat out, or what, I find it to much of a coincedence that two cookers should fail to work in the same place, unless something is causing it, what do you think.

Was this second cooker a replacement under the manufactures guarantee, or is it just another second hand one ? If its a u/g replacement get back onto the suppliers. Ovens have a flame failure valve that go quite often this will prevent the oven flame from going onto full power. If the knobs are getting hot then the door is not closing properly. Put a strip of stiffish paper in the top of the door and close, if you can move it easily then the seal is damaged or the door catch needs adjusting, repeat on sides.
If you suspect the gas supply pressure then this will be evident by the size of the flame on the hob burners, if so contact Transco or your gas supplier. Other than that get a CORGI reg fitter to look at it ( he must be registered for gas cookers)

The pilot light is out. I don't know how to explain it over the internet. There should be a valve that looks like a big ball point pin. Get a match, preferably long, turn on the stove a little, and put the match to it. If that's not it, wave the match around to places that look like a nozzle of some type. Should do the trick. If not, you have a plugged pilto. You'll have to take it off and clean it with some paint thinner, or acetone. Then try it again.

Have you got a roasting tray or such like maybe sitting on top of the oven burner or could it be covered in spilled burned on food, or anything stopping the flow of gas from the oven burner, check before calling out an engineer.

Gas cookers can only be serviced by Corgi registered agents. Get onto yor gas supplier and ask them for their advice

You need to speak to a Corgi registered person. Good luck
