Before you go spending hard earned cash, have you checked all the basics?
Is there gas in the bottle? Does it have the right regulator? Are the inline gas valves in the 'on' position? Is gas getting through to the appliances? Are you pushing the control knob in while lighting?

Sorry if you already checked this, just trying to save you a few bob.

It might be a good idea to get it all checked over anyway, especially the rubber hoses which could well need replacing.

I think I'll go back and double check everything before i pay out more dosh.Thanks.
