Is that £400 for a pump? Is that a BG price? Or Xmas day price?

The heat exchanger is usually the most expensive part but if every other part is fine its still probably worth it.

£400 for the pcb.

Please confirm where the leak is.
Having spent £400 on the PCB - that's full whack, and you'd almost certainly have been better off going for a fixed price repair, but not your fault you didn't - I'd personally be even more inclined to try and keep that boiler running!
But, it does come down to the cause of the leak. I fear it isn't as simple as replacing the filling loop or its associated valves, as surely the plumber would have done this - with his eyes closed?

I'm going to get another engineer in and see what he says.

Going rate for pumps on a lot of boilers these days!! Most still under warranty luckily.
