As explained in post 37

Oh yes, so you did. But that was hours ago and anyway I explained it better

Ah yes I forgot. You youngsters no longer read the threads here before posting. Is that considered OK over at chunderboat too?

Thanks Richard.

It's one of those things that are obvious when you think about it, but not at first glance.

My problem is that my head is so big and full of clever stuff that sometimes the stuff in there gets lost and I can’t find it!

Sometimes. But echoey, like a large cave.

So if it's all echo-y in there, it must be empty. So where is your brain?

Ooh I've just figured it out!

The problem is that in order to encourage the flow to go down the 10mm pipes to the rads at the end of the run, you will have to throttle the rads near the boiler by turning down their lock shield valves (ie balancing the system) and so the point of the larger bore pipes to the rads nearer the boiler is somewhat lost. It would have been better if the near rads were in 10mm and the distant ones in 15mm but hey ho, it is what it is!

Throttling down the radiators near the boiler, i.e balancing, only slows down the flow through the radiator. There is still a larger bore pipe through the flow and return to protect the boiler.

I'm still totally lost as to why the boiler needs 'protecting'. 

Protecting from what, exactly?

For the domestically inclined, put one's hand to block the vacuum cleaner hose and you'll hear the revs rise.

low flow causing overheating.

You have some really weird ideas about heating.

I might think the same about you. Lack of flow through a pressure jet low water content oil boiler will damage it.

Fernox is better..

Although on reflection, I've never seen a  low water content pressure jet boiler. 

I rather doubt such a thing exists.

Webasto's and Mikuni's are pretty well there.

They are not pressure jet, silly!
