Are you sure a repair isn't feasible? I can't see why it should cost "a bomb" - could be less than £200. Compare that to the cost of a new condensing boiler, including an allowance for the higher maintenance costs of a new boiler.

Fan is approx 145, programmer 95 plus labour and vat. Boiler is at least 15 years old standard wall mounted conventional boiler. Obviously don't know the condition of it hence wheather it's worth throwing cash at or not....your choice.

Cast iron heat exchanger. It's the next generation from the thorn/myson olympic. Generally worth fixing as a new combi would cost an H bomb by comparison and the equivallent of 2 or 3 bombs to repair when they go wrong.
A replacement boiler would have to be condensing and would entail the additional work of bringing your system up to CHeSS specification ie TRV's controls and stats etc. This would also cost an H bomb
