Good evening everybody,
I need a bit of advice on the toe and heeling of a new upvc front door(duraflex).
The door has 2 dg units, slightly larger one at top, .....

which one should I fit first, or does it not matter,

and regarding toe heel, do I rest the unit on the bottom spacers to assist drainage and then place a packer high up on the door latch side which will just take the weight off the bottom latch side spacer, in effect placing the weight on the hinge side bottom spacer.

All help and advice are most welcome. thanks.

I can help you but the problem is, it's impossible to explain in words, it's not straight forward for any diy'er, it's best to do a search as the details will tell you how to do it but it's not easy!

Here's one of them > http://www.thewindowman.co.uk/toe_heel.htm

Might be worth having a look at youtube to show you if they have done it correctly!!
