I installed a potterton prima 100F about 12 years ago and I've just replaced the fan cos the bearings were knackered. Now I'm getting an intermittent electrical fault. There is sparking from the main circuit board. Don't know how much to replace the board but wonder whether to just get a new boiler and have done with it. Any thoughts?

The new condensing boilers will save you a few quid on gas but not so much as to recoupe the cost of replacement.
Once parts start to become hard to find that is the time to change.
