How can I re-light the pilot light on my Potterton profile 50e?

How can I re-light the pilot light on my Potterton profile 50e, I have tried the button underneath but this doesn’t work, the motor seems to be working but the pilot will not light. I have no heating or hot water.

Hi there is not a permanant pilot on these boilers the button underneath is a over heat reset if fan is running and you can hear a spark either the gas valve is faulty or ignition lead shorting if no spark possible fan faulty or the pressure switch
