Get somebody who knows what they are doing.

Same from me, - get your service engineer to do all of those jobs. The Tigerloop has a purpose. The oil filter is supposed to done or checked at each service (paper filter replaced or gauze filter, if dirty, cleaned as a minimum). The Tigerloop could easily be replaced by the engineer and any oil hoses. Needs the boiler set with an analyser, so not worth you touching parts of the work needed. Get a rough quote from engineer before getting them out.

diy on oil lines can be very costly, flared pipe joints are the best option, so you need a flaring set for starters.
