Have had this boiler for about 7 yrs the central heat side has always switched itself off now and again and I have had to reset it to get it started again. But over the last couple of years its got really bad and will switch itself off quite frequently and it gets really annoying. I have had a couple of plumbers in to look at and they say its PROBERBLY the board at a cost off between £250-£300 for parts alone if add thier labour costs I seem to be nearly into the cost of a new boiler and thats assuming they come up with no further problems. Has anybody any ideas. If it is just the board I capable of replacing this myself.

It seems that you have called "plumbers" on the basis they come free and give you a quote! That always results in stupid prices and they usually want to fit a new boiler.
Your boiler is quite repairable but not one of the most reliable.
Before replacing the PCB the fan/ventrui/APS should be checked but thats a job for a CORGI.
The PCbs are not that expensive, probably about £100 ! But if yuo can solder PCBs its worth checking for dry joints and if you find any resoldering them.
We only charge £84 to diagnose the fault in our local area then the list price of the spare part.

As far as I know Tony the fan, aps or venturi would not cause a lock out, it just sits in position.
LED 2 on (red) = failed to ignite or overheating.
At 7 years old do not go near venturi, it will disintigrate with the focus of your vision, in fact even thinking about it may have caused it to disintigrate, oops!

MF02 pcbs are over £260
I think its that one but if not it will be the MF03 which is still over £200
That was at europeanspares.com and those are typical retail prices exc vat
