Cut downpipe at correct new hight get yourself a straight connector that fits your downpipe. Reassemble with your existing diverter in correct position.

One of the range cooker service guys locally had his on his van. The Aga Khan.

First you need to establish what your mains water pressure is both dynamic and static. Turning down stop tap and isolating valves will not reduce pressure it only reduces volume. To reduce pressure you need a pressure reducing valve. Certainly check for any unclipped pipework.

Have a really good look round base of boiler . The Worcester oil combi's are know for leaking. Check carefully round heat store. We have pulled out a number at 5 to 6 years old. Also expansion vessels fail with horrible regularity.

Cylinder return should always be last connection before boiler we always try to make it on branch as well . Prevents any possibility of reverse circulation or 'heat creap' into rads when only dhw on.

Depending on system lay out boiler ect we would create a other zone with motorised valve. Honeywell S plan plus. Needs care where to connect return ideally before cylinder return.

The normal Ideal doughnut is more like a very large O ring fits in a recess on pan.

Anything above the flashing that the rain is running off? Some timbers ceder especially leave some horrible staining on lead.

Whatever works for you no reason not to both sides of valve.

When we were doing newbuild and all plastic systems. We would always have a short piece of copper out of stop tap to give sparks something to put a bonding clip on!

I'm with the 99 % lol. Crap boiler when new old age certainly hasn't improved them. The logic series was introduced in July 2009 ,that makes a Icos at least 17 years old. Time to put it out of its misery!

As you have had original rf stat changed and problem remains difficult to see how swapping to hive would cure anything. When problem occurs checking with a multimeter will quickly establish where stray live is coming from. Worth checking flow switch is working correctly multimeter again...

Not sure what that wire diagram is from but it's not the UK model of vortex pro external combi.

Sounds like wireing issue. The Grant external combi's should be feed by a 5 core. Permanent live, switched live for hot water, switched live for heating plus neutral and earth. If your competent with mains voltage and have a multimeter easy to check. Unplug supply cable take lid off plug ...

As boiler is working ok in short runs then stops on long ones id be looking at burner.. When it goes to lockout with power of see how easy fan moves . Could be oil pump tight or motor bearing on pump side. Ignition transformer can also play up when hot and on way out. Really needs hands/eyes on...
