We have a Y-plan system with indirect tank and non-condensing (13 year old boiler/house).

Have recently cleaned system and added inhibitor (the one advised in boiler manual) as we seemed to have a cycling issue - now gone as far as I can tell. The mid-position valve was also swopped while the system was drained (the actuator was swopped about 6-7 years ago so I still had the new valve.

What I did find is that a length of the return from the HW tank is in 15mm where it disappears back under the floor. What problems might this cause? All the other piping I can see around the boiler and at the mid position valve is 22mm.

None. The load of a hot water heating coil is not enough to require 22mm, though for some reason it is often used.
