Hi all . I`m getting the F61 & F62 fault codes on the above boiler ( about 12 years old, serviced regularly ) Should I get the PCB changed or the gas valve, or both ? Thanks for any help or advice.

You should engage in a gas safe registered engineer to diagnose this correctly for you, replace any parts required and carry out critical safety checks afterwards.
If the temp on the display is jumping around when not locked ot , it will be the PCB
This is very common on that model at 12 years.
It can be either or both parts!
More often the PCB.
It may be a good candidate for a fixed price repair in view of the difficulty in diagnosing the fault. Most seem to resort to p[arts changing!
But they can be very occasional. A client has had only three lockouts in three months. But they often get more frequent but more often take months or years to get impossible to live with.

Thanks ianmcd and Chris_W
Thanks Agile. Whats your opinion on second hand refurbished parts ( with a 12 month guarantee ) ? They are much cheaper than new ones.
Thanks again.
