Time for a new boiler

I have a Vokera combi which has been in about ten years. It's been repaired a few times. It's gone faulty this weekend. The flame is igniting then going off and on within seconds constantly. Engineer coming tomorrow.
Just wondering If I need a new boiler what is the best kind to get.

Don't rush into a new boiler just for that fault. It could be something as simple as a faulty thermistor or over heat stat or broken ignition electrode.
This is a common fault with lots of combi boilers thats easily fixed so don't panic.0 -
Thanks for your reply. It was just in case I had to have it replaced. Hopefully it will get fixed when the man comes today.0

If it's a Linea, I would go for the ignition pcb at fault.0

A new boiler being fitted on Monday. It is the ignition unit that is at fault. The boiler is over 12 years old and been repaired several times. I knew a new boiler would be needed sooner rather than later.0
