glow-worm

Glowworm or glow-worm is the common name for various groups of insect larvae and adult larviform females that glow through bioluminescence. They include the European common glow-worm and other members of the Lampyridae, but bioluminescence also occurs in the families Elateridae, Phengodidae, and Rhagophthalmidae among beetles; as well as members of the genera Arachnocampa, Keroplatus, and Orfelia among keroplatid fungus gnats.

    Glow-worm 12HXI ignition faliure

    Every winter without fail this boiler throws an F1 code a couple time a week. What I find strange is that a quick reset does not help, it tries to fire up but fails again, however, if you leave it switched off for 10 minutes and then turn it back on, it fires up. Anyone know what the issue could be?
