I stupidly let the gas meter run out. I've topped it up and the meter is saying im in credit but the boiler is flashing with an amber and red light. Its trying to fire up but then stops and flashes.
Ive turned all the radiators off and tried to reboot the meter but it still wont work?
Any ideas
im freezing!

With most boilers, they will "lock out" of you've run out of gas.
There should be a "reset", or "lockout" button on the control panel (it looks like a flame with a cross through it).
Press and hold this for about 4-5 seconds and the boiler should relight.0 -
It could take several attempts to get the boiler to relight as all the gas in the pipe work to it will have been used.
To be technical and boring, the gas pipe work should be purged again as in a new installation, for safety reasons.0
