I have positioned my pir on my back wall but it keeps getting activated by the heat flue from my boiler is there any way i could avoid this by maybe repositioning my pir?

Not sure if you can do much about that other than move your PIR or somhow rechannel your flu outlet away from the PIR(but I wouldnt recommend messing with your flu without expert help)
I am assuming its outside lights and the boiler flue is in line with the PIR

Yes thought that would be only solution tricky one to solve really

If not then you could try the old trick of reducing the field of detection by placing 2 bits of tape on the lens (letter box style) I have never tried it but I know a man who has
Or a metal shield between sensor and flue pipe about 3 inches from the PIR then this can be cut to the required area to "hide" from the PIR.
Means the are under the flue pipe is still covered by the PIR.
