Aha! One of those old boilers still going at 10 years!! Old technology, suck teeth, could GO at any time. Regulations, inefficiency, problems. Terrible. You want it out really, before the winter... unless you want your other half after you when it breaks down... Better get it booked in...
Or you could fix the valve, and leave the boiler for another 20 years. Look for one of

Martin, you need to drain the system or atleast to the level the valve is on.
and then just a case of 3 nuts (not position of AB, A and B ports) and exchanging wire for wire in the junction box.
not a very difficult job but you need to be competent in draining and refilling a conventional system.
*im assuming this is a recent problem nothing has been altered or touched prior to the fault as there is a slight chance it could be a wiring fault.
