Is it possible to lay floor tiles on to existing floor tiles (small grey old but level)

Your best bet is to have a word with your local Tiles Shop for their expertise.

Use ardex S16 (no it is not a fighter jet) combined with fine sand, aggressiveley floated and allowed to thoroughly dry. If neccessary level with bonding coat plaster to assure a good finish/

I was told you have to wait three days before grouting when you tile over existing tiles.......is this the case? If so why? Also do i need to use any bonding agent on the tiles to be tiled over or special adhesive?

Yes,to allow air into the tiles gap to dry out the adhesive.
