Try leisure shop direct, they do most parts available

I think you will find that’s the wrong one, the correct one should be as my previous link as sourced by production number, and it matches the one in the OP’s pictures 🤔

And the extension tube is available https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19630433...e=1&gbraid=0AAAAADihhqXqjmGpzgjqKafC_FUyzdDTv as an example cheaper may be available

Martin_E I was replying to borderbilly not the OP. Borderbilly showed the a picture of the battery type drilled out to get at the battery. I agree with you that the OP has the piezo ignitor which either he not pushing hard enough or its jammed

I see what looks like the side of an AAA battery in a gap. See previous video and side view photo below.

Hi Tel
Apologies for the delay in getting back to.

Please everyone , can we be very clear my and Tel’s are both battery igniters NOT anything else!

See my previous posts which cogently explain the problem and resolution even down to buying a whole replacement unit at the discounted price of £55.19.
#10, #15 and #24.

Tel,
May I assume you are trying to rotate the metal canister clockwise? It only turns 90degs and then pulls out.
If the battery is so badly corroded within the housing then a new unit will be your only option. Good luck!

How’s Borderbilly’s popcorn going😉

Thanks again DD,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, as I've been a bit busy, but...
Good news: I was able to remove the housing with the battery last Saturday, by rotating the housing clockwise as you have suggested. I've brought the AAA battery + holder home to work on, and have separated them now, and will try a new battery next time I'm at the caravan (weeks or months from now), so hopefully I won't need to replace the igniter.

I might go into more detail later to help others who may have the same issue, but meanwhile, I have some questions about your post above, DD.

In case I ever want a replacement igniter, where can I get that discounted price, and what do you mean by "#10, #15 and #24"?

Thanks.

Prices seem to change daily. Let Google do the work😉
If the battery hasn’t corroded the assembly hopefully you will not need a new one.

Thanks Buckman, but how do I go diectly to post #24, for example?

You cannot, you have to scroll upwards to the post required.
