the port motor is probably stuck. powering down electrics watching that small leaver on the box will reveal whats happening. it can also be slid and locked over to make the flow manualy. easy to change the box only though if your competant with basic electrics
if box feels quite wrm then motors jammed, it might free off powering off supply.

you can either get the honeywell replacement for about £60-70 or a copy part (the metal ones are all honeywell compatible)
the rest is swap the wiring in the white box like for like the re-attatch motor head to valve.

The orange wire becomes live through contact in valve but sometimes wear in valve prevents contact and then boiler will not fire, Checking this sequence on replacement head will confirm everything OK.
