Oh jeez dont even remind me, working on a 24CDI to replace the diverter valve. Heat exchanger out, filling loop out, lots of little pins to pull out. Then after getting it all back in it leaks stupid plastic parts! no amount of PTFE or gas seal would stop it from leaking must of had everything in and out of the boiler at least 5 times. We refuse to work on them anymore ended up replacing it with a baxi 105

changing bath taps for sure can be a nightmare, would rather change the complete bathroom sometimes then try to swap the taps when in a tight space.
