Glow worm betacom 28

[plumben]

We'll I started fitting my first glow worm betacom 28 Combi today,

Not everything went acording to plan brought my core drill and core cutters but no 110 transformer so had to give my SDs a good working

But got it on the wall and started laying my pipe work out and prepping for tomorrow,

Is there anything to look out for/good to know with these boilers?

Thanks

Replacing, new hot and cold feeds to just below the ceiling then temp connections until I rip the kitchen out to get the damp course done, replaster the kitchen replace all the windows on the back of the house, new gutters and new electrics, all whilst the tenants living there, it's going to be fun

It is what about the socket half off under the boiler ?

It is what about the socket half off under the boiler ?

That's due to the cobbled together downpipe on the other side of the wall came off and all the rain water ran down the face and came in via the outside light and blew the electrics, spark said to leave it as is for a while to let the bricks dry out, it'll be going on properly before I've finished
