worcester 240 - main burner not igniting

Hi there, The main burner won't ignite in my Worcester 240 RSF despite the pilot light coming on. I've followed the fault finding section in the manual. This seems to be pointing to replacing the gas valve. I put the boiler on for central heating and did the following: The spark electrode seems fine...
