Greenstar junior flow sensor tips

[c.gas]

Anyone got any tips on how they manage to get the flow sensor and water inlet pipe back in far enough to get the clip down after you've changed the o-ring at the back, I've done it a few times but always a struggle, by far the worst job I've had to do on these boilers

Last one I done defeated me and had to get Worcester out in the end. I couldn't get in front of it to get my weight behind me as it was over the kitchen side and the sink was in the way.

Plenty of lube......does wonders

Thanks Shaun will try that, I grease up the o-ring but it's like the o-ring is to big and needs to be a bit thinner. I must have spent hours on the last one where I had to get Worcester out, I did manage to get it in twice but just kept leaking, turned out the holes had got a little bigger with me pushing the clip

I remember having this trouble before but can't remember the outcome. It was something obvious that I had missed like an old o'rings stuck in there or something. I rang Worcester and they told me what it is was straight away.
