I meant about the kitchen radiator, that the bypass must be under the top floor floorboards (the whole heating circuit appears to be in the 1st floor), so cutting off the radiator, which directly fed off the first floor should be OK.

Thanks kevplumb, I thought the immersion could heat the CH via the boiler HW as well as the back boiler heating the HW via the boiler (yes crazy but)... Still confused about one thing though. Comparing my CH to this diagram it looks very similar. The drain cocks are basically on the...
