The PCB commonly fails often giving one of the following symptoms:
Fuse on PCB blown - boiler does nothing.
Pump runs but fan not running or erratic.
Pump and fan run but gas valve doesn't open (but check air pressure switch).
Pump, fan & gas valve operate but no spark ignition.
Boiler lights but shuts down after a few seconds because it doesn't detect flame (but check electrode leads and condensate trap if conncted).

PCBs are available on Ebay.

If you look at the book that came with the boiler look on falt finding ( is the burner on/off )It is either the fuse or the gas valve or something you cant do your self. to test the valve I pulled the wire off when it was lit, and it stayed on so that was the fault.
