pilot light won't relight

[annabelharrison]

Hi.
I mistakenly switched off my pilot light on my boiler (Glowworm fanned flue combination boiler with Honeywell gas control Compact 75p).
Having followed the instructions for relighting the boiler (holding down control knob, pressing piezo, then switching on electricity and then heating itself), I find that I can't get it to relight. It relights when my finger is on the control knob, but won't stay relit when I let go.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Annabel

Switch on the electric first then do it .

Thanks but I have also tried it that way round, and still no joy.
