I use slow radius bends and the black 15mm polyplumb pipe inserts as clip spacers. Then slowly slip the climaflex lagging over. Never use the well expensive condensate pro, rip off is an understatement.

great video mate as always not sure that new powerhead has sorted it though as it didn't work until you put the HW on as well 🤔 did you try HW only then CH only? i find that sometimes it will work OK if you do it in a certain sequence which will fool you i reckon you might be back there ☹️

Handy tip ,Next time, mark cables before removing from old boiler , it would have been quicker and neater to replace back to wiring centre. no junction box required then . you had the 5 core on your van aswell . But as you say you were having a bad day.

Hi Dan. Looks like timber kit house. Up here in Scotland the majority of new houses built have been timber kit for the last 30 years or so. Initially it was 100mm timber stud fully insulated with vapour barrier and plasterboard on the inside. OSB with building paper on the cavity side, cavity and brick or rendered block as an outside skin. Modern kits are now typically 150mm stud fully insulated. Some also have additional insulation on the inside of the stud before the plasterboard. We rarely have inside block skin now. Soil pipe sleeve is a no no though. Good video

The Junior suffered from poor APS positioning. Melting tubes that restrict the flue airway. PCB resistors and relay issues. Plus the blue transformer. Fan has to be spotless too, runs on fast, then slow. Check for flame lift at burner. The twin pass heat exchanger is, by far the worst job you will ever attempt on one of these.
