NO HEATING OR HOT WATER

HELLO.
WE HAVE THE OLD STYLE BACK BOILER, WHICH SITS BEHIND OUR GAS FIRE.
YESTERDAY I NOTICED THAT SEVERAL OF THE DOWNSTAIRS RADIOTORS WERE NOT WORKING. I BLED THE ONES THAT WERE NOT AND WITHIN AN HOUR, NONE OF THEM WORKED AND WE HAD NO HOT WATER.
IT WOULD APPEAR THAT WHILST THE HEATING IS SWITCHED OFF, THE BACK BOILER IS FINE, IE THE PILOT IS LIT. BUT AS SOON AS YOU TURN THE HEATING BACK ON, THE PILOT GOES OUT.
PRIOR TO THIS, ONE OF OUR RADITORS WAS NEVER QUITE RIGHT AS IT WOULD ONLY COME ON WHEN THE THEMOSTAT WAS REMOVED!
WE RENT OUR PROPERTY, AND THE LANDLORD HAS BEEN ROUND WITH ADVICE FROM HIS REGULAR PLUMBER. HOWEVER, HE HASN'T SORTED THE PROBLEM AND IS CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE PLUMBER TO CALL HIM BACK. :x
