Assuming the boiler is capable, how easy is it to convert from an open to a sealed system (s plan)?
For example, could the expansion vessle be cited in the same location as the F&E tank (in our case, in the loft 1m above the boiler)?
Using a kit like this:

Would it be as simple as removing the olf F&E tank and connecting the old vent pipe to the new expansion vessel with the filling loop connected to the old cistern mains supply?
Have I missed anything/are there any pitfalls?
In terms of vessel sizing I was thinking of a 24l as we have an 18kw boiler and amedium sized house with 10 (largish) rads.
