The new regulatory regime is in place since 26 June 2009 and only Registered Gas Installers are allowed to carry out domestic gas works. It is an offence for any person to carry out domestic gas works unless he/she is a Registered Gas Installer (RGI).
Just a quick note which hasn't been mentioned. If this is a nat gas boiler then it is most likely illegal to even attempt replacing the board yourself!!!

Aside from this improper combustion can lead to a danger of CO poisoning. However small the risk i think i'd prefer to have a professional replace it and carry out a combustion test after!!!!!

That would be a RGII, a new PCB may require setting up or may be defective out of the box, so you would have to be competent with gas to recognize that things are as they should be and the boiler is safe, Gary.

Bought from the same ebay seller - €65 inc. delivery for a reconditioned board with a six month guarantee; and I'll get £12 back for returning my faulty board.I refitted the PCB on my Potterton about 1 yr ago. I bought a reconditioned one on ebay from [broken link removed]. I'm not very DIY minded but I was able to do all the work and its still going ok.
