I have to fiddle with the metal disc the spark hits periodically, but when its not working you can still see a spark in the dark, just not where its supposed to be

You can clean them up as suggested previously but sometimes they just need moving closer to the gas
Mine didn’t work when I bought it so used a lighter and then moved the piezo closer and it started working

Mine has hardly worked since the day I bought it. But that has to do with using a Ridge Monkey on it and spilling all fat out of the pan as I turned it all over the cooker. I cleaned it out, but did same again a few times so I don't bother with it. A lighter is just as simple.
Perhaps yours has got a bit of grease/fat etc in it. You know when they have as they are a bit sluggish/stiff and don't click.

The Piezo on my Bulin hasn't worked from day 1 but I prefer using a lighter anyway....

Possibly where the ignitor switch folds the wire has detached? there is a small allen key head on the stainless holder at the base and a press pin that release this from the framework of the stove might be worth taking it off and checking could be a simple solder job, failing that ONE OF THESE

Try cleaning the end with a bit of wet and dry or something often it will work again

You can buy a generic ignition for a few quid. Very much doubt it’ll fit the housing though so you’ll be carrying it like a lighter. One from a lighter may fit the housing but the element (or whatever it’s called) is only about an inch long.
For the sake of about 99p I’d buy a lighter and embrace the smell of bbq hand hair

With primus you can get a replacement though, albeit at the cost of half a bulin

They all go eventually. And it's not only Bulins it happens on the high end primus aswell. Have to resort to rubbing a few sticks together I'm afraid..

Had it with one once it was a couple of years old, i did look to find a new ignition but i think was almost as cheap to buy a new stove, about £18 from China at the time.

You right I could use a lighter but do you know if the ignition can be replaced?

The piezo igniter element will be shot. Just use a lighter mate.
