    Ideal gas boiler sudden ignition lockout

    Hello - I have a Ideal 35kw combi gas boiler. Everything was fine until I switched the heating on for the first time this year. Then I got a L2 Ignition lockout error, and resetting the boiler doesn't fix it. The gas is definitely on, and the pressure is fine - any ideas? Thank you!
