My vokera boiler needs a an obsolete part?

My vokera 20/80 R.S. flowmatic Boiler needs a modulater or modurey? valve to control the hot water. And its obsolete for my boiler. I could of coped with it, as it was but then the pilot light went out and wont relight! Ive not known this before. I have Vokera direct coming out, to it probably to fix the pilot. but my concern is if they relight it will the modulater eventually breakdown alltogether? As i can't afford a new boiler, as i'm a widow.

Vokera Heating, Home Heating Systems Boiler Needs Part

I would get a second opinion before changing the boiler - if you can not get it replaced 'for free'.
What are the symptoms that made the gas man think the modulator was faulty?.

There are half a dozen common faults on these boilers - all readily fixed and none too expensive.
Hot/cold/hot/cold hot water tap - dirty venturi.
Boiler always on : broken dhw micro switch.
Boiler does not fire up - broken flow microswitch.
Boiler pilot goes out - broken flow microswitch.
Boiler does not turn on for hot tap/hot only when central heating on - holed dhw diaphragm (less often broken DHW microswitch)
Boiler does nothing (but hum from water pump) - stuck fan bearings.
Boiler pressure rises and vents when central heating warms up - Expansion vessel needs pumping up.
