Cheers for the link. I was going to deffo buy one as a spare and maybe straighten my existing one. I suppose it depends how often they get bent. It could even be the deraillier I have issues with tbf. Something is a bit twisted and I cant tell if its one or the other.
Finding the right one would be a start. i have only found one website that states it is the right one for my bike so far and they are £19 plus postage.
I might have to fire a post off on Bikeradar and see if other Boardman users can help
IMO the adjustment tool is a worthwhile investment, an out of tune rear hanger will mess up your shifting.
Here is some more from the park tool site:

As long as the hanger doesn't break when bent back it'll be safe to use.
If you need to replace the hanger, also look at halfords, they do one for around £6.50.
