Plain-English guidance below. Severity, DIY steps, costs and parts are our interpretation to help you act, not text from the manual.

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler attempts to start up but fails to detect a flame after several attempts. The most common reasons are a worn-out ignition spark that can no longer light the gas or a faulty gas valve that isn't letting fuel into the burner.

This issue is more frequent during the first cold snap of winter when components that have been idle over summer are suddenly put under heavy strain.

Engineer required

This is a high severity fault. Stop using the boiler and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
