Yes, its a transient supressor to stop arcing on thermostat contacts. An AC rated capacitor of about 0.1µF and 100 ohms in series.

A Maplin Part No. RG22Y at £2.26 would be a suitable replacement!

Sorry, your post is not clear. However, if I've read correctly and anything has gone 'pop', turn off your boiler immediately and get a CORGI to check it out. Especially if you think it has something to do with the gas valve.
