Hello we currently have an old Stanley range cooker in the kitchen and a back burner in the living room. There is also a hot water tank in the bathroom.

The plan is to remove the cooker and plumb in a regular external oil boiler.

Would it be fine to use the existing flow and return from the cooker with the oil boiler? Are any further modifications required than that?

We cannot afford to modify the whole system yet, so we are hoping this will provide a short term solution which is slightly more efficient that the Stanley.
 
The actual pipework should be fine.
If your current system is not fully pumped it will need to be converted.
Do you have any motorised valves?

The only pump found so far is fitted next to the tank/immersion heater in the bathroom cupboard. It is on a switch and seems to be circulating hot water to radiators.

Would have to check for motorised valves when back this weekend.
