I've worked out that the pilot light on my old Vaillant combi boiler
uses the equivalent of 60UKP of gas per year, does this sound right?
This means a new boiler would repay in 10 years on the cost of pilot
light gas alone.

Forgetting the cost of the gas used for a minute, you're assuming all that
energy is wasted. It's not - only a proportion is. The rest goes to
keeping the water inside the boiler warm so it doesn't have to heat up so
far when it fires next. More wastage when the system isn't in use though I
suppose.
