Burners not firing up in boiler? Myson Apollo Boiler?

Hi
I have a Myson Apollo boiler & recently been having problems with C/H. Some times we have some heat in rads (not as much as expected) or no heat at all.
Have replaced value & pump next to water tank as well as power flushed radiators & still no better. I have had covers taken off the boiler & after inspecting the burners have noticed that only 1 of the 6 are firing up when the C/H is put on. The burners were brushed clean & eventually they all fired up. However after 24 hours later we were back to square one. Does this mean that the burners need replacing? Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Your response is duly noted.
I was advised that the issue could pump etc that is why the money was spent, only after doing the previous mentioned has the boiler been pointed out as a possible issue. I would like to mention that my boiler has been serviced & a qualified engineer is booked to have another look.

sounds like your just chucking parts and money at the system and don't know really what your doing.

1st its illegal for you to be mucking around in the boiler combustion chamber.

get a rgi to have a look.
sounds like its never been serviced.
