Grotherm 1000 mixer valve disaster

Don't do it up till you have the pipe in thats what grips it and seals any water from leaking.

When you fit it on the pipe the olive must grip the pipe where you have your insert in the end of the plastic pipe the insert is there to strengthen the pipe.
The insert is about 20mm long grip it half way along it.

Watch this link it'll giive you an idea.

Okay great. The guy in the video was using copper pipe so just to be sure I put the insert in and the fit the olive over the insert or i put the olive on the pipe and then fit the insert? Where about on the insert should the olive sit? where it is at its widest at the very end of the pipe or slightly further back where it become narrower inside the pipe

As i said above about half way along the insert.
The insert gives the pipe strength.
Do it hand tight then give it a nip up with the adjustable not to much as it's only plastic pipe and you'll crush the olive.

Yes we useally always fit with copper much easier. But plastic is ok.
