I replaced both of these on my MC2 for about £60 IIRC. I imagine the Vario will be more expensive to repair, but always feels good to keep things going. Do you know how to check a motor to see if it's fucked?
If you have a multimeter, it's quite straightforward.These videos helped me. No continuity over opposite commutator bars was what proved my motor was fucked.

Replacing the vario motor is easy no idea about main board - sounds like between us we might have one working grinder! :(

My Mahlkonig Vario stopped working again a few days after I'd fitted the new display board, took it into my local roastery (bossman fixes grinders and espresso machines as well) and he reckons the motor and the main board are dead... :(
Waiting to find out how much parts will cost and if it's worth fixing...
