thanks for the reply, yes i am sure i have it all worked out i have a good mate who is a central heating self employed plumber and have run it by him he is going to check all plumbing before we try it out,as i have it theres a flow and return from the boiler to cylinder with the flow continuing to a f&e tank in the loft and the fill going back to the return from cylinder, the f&e tank this tank is copper with a copper ball,so i can put the new cylinder in place and just cap boiler inputs should i fill the coil with water or not ,oh forgot there is also a heat leak going in too many thanks
 
I think he hasn't much idea, tbh.
What I think he is trying to say is, he is basically wanting to know can he fit an indirect copper cylinder, but not yet join the heating primaries, which are to be done later. He seems to think the coil requires to be filled with water and/or capped off, to prevent what he mistakenly believes could cause possible damage to coil.
I speak Japanese! :smile:
