    Can you work on a boiler if your not Gas Safe?

    As long as you don't break into the gas way. Its then not gas work. Question is? why do you mess about heating systems if your not proven competent to do so.

    Removing a solid fuel back boiler

    Oil is a controlled heat source. Solid fuel is an uncontrolled heat source. You are not allowed to connect the two systems directly together. You can use something like a thermal store on the solid fuel for separation and use the coil on the store to connect up to the oil heated side of the system.

    Serious gas question this time.

    Its only going to provide about 2 metres cubed/hour on this run with a 1 mbar working pressure drop from end to end. Hang the boiler on a head stone or put a bigger pipe in.

    Glowworm flue with Vaillant boiler

    Glow Worm and Vaillant are under the same group of companies. This does not mean that the flue parts are interchangeable. Just phone them and ask.

    Pump location recommendations...

    The problem is probably with the shower mixer fitting. Check the specification with the Manufacturer about operational pressure. A shower pump will obviously give you better performance, but do expect some noise.
