Common fault I believe, watchdog did a story on it from what i can recall.

E168 is airbourne electrical interference. Remove all plugs from board and then reconnect plugs and reset .
I am awaiting for an answer from Baxi as to what exactly this is

It will be fine. I have querried with Baxi how this interference does not effect the new board !
