Yes it is fairly cheap as far as pcb's go, but unfortunately quality is often reflected in price. Getting an £80 pcb sent to Spain wouldn't work out cheap once they slap freight & import tax onto it. What are tradesman's rates like out there? It may be just as cheap to get a Spanish engineer to do the job for you. I'm sure you'd be able to get a free quote someplace? Then you could weigh up your alternatives about the best way to proceed. It isn't a big job to change a pcb.
Hi Zipper, Thanks for all the help.
If I can find the part, there will be no problem getting it brought out to Spain, the family and friends are always coming and going.
Also,as this is a UK machine I don't know if the part will be readily available in Spain.
So do you know of anyone in the UK that repairs faulty modules or have you got a link to a parts supplier?
Cheers

This UK company repairs defective pcb's http://www.emwelec.co.uk/index.php?action=item&id=261&prevaction=category&previd=2&prevstart=0
They don't repair every kind of module so it would be wise to contact them first with the full model details for a quote...if you decide to go down that road.
This is your pcb http://www.espares.co.uk/parts?k=49017644 If you buy a new one someplace else be sure to specify you need a pre-programmed type (this one is). I would also change out the NTC regardless, they are very cheap http://www.espares.co.uk/part/washi...107/0/0/670895/washing-machine-ntc-probe.html
You ought to be able to track down spares in Spain using the part numbers above. I would imagine the only difference between a Spanish GO482/2-80 & one bought in the UK is likely to be the mains plug & user language on the control panel. It might be an idea to shop around for a free repair quote locally before going to all the trouble of sourcing spares in the uk, but that's just my two cents.
Good luck whichever way you decide to go
