Ideal Elan 2 boiler problem

you are touching and testing gas safety components, need to be a rgi to do that.
to get to the thermal cut out you would probably have to remove combustion chamber cover, again cant be done without being a rgi.

To check the gas valve
When system is cold turn boiler on,turn on and off at the boiler thermostate,the boiler should light up and go off as you turn on and off,do it about twenty times,if the burner comes on and off when you turn boiler on and off every time ,gas valve likely to be ok
However it could be boiler thermostat contacts faulty,as electrician you can check this ,if no power out of thermostat thats the problem,more likely when boiler hot,if power out ,its the gas valve
If thats the case I am sure you will get a gas safe enginer to replace it......yeh
