boiler flashing code H E read book that came with it and it seams to indicate a new a pcb how much should i expect to pay for labour part and how long to do it or would it be easy enough to replace ourselves if so where is best place to order spare part from thanks

Easy to replace, but there may be an underlying fault that has taken out the pcb, so fitting a new one may just have it blow again.

Cheapest option is BG fixed price repair or Ideal fixed price repair inc 12 months warranty.

There are places that will repair pcb.s - but as stated the problem might be elsewhere..

My experience of having an Ocean Alpha 240p boiler is that most plumbers that turn up will work off a fault finding list and eventually get to the stage where they repalce the pcb- if needed or not.

I found the official fault finding list via the diynot.com forum and spent many (wasted) years repairing it myself.

The first fault was the grunfloss pump blowing the fuses- cost me £50 to replace, plus a couple of fuses. One plumber quoted £280 for a new pcb with a week wait....

Unfortunately most, not all, plumbers are crap at reparing boilers. Heating engineers might be .a better bet
