I read it's a can of worms doing this job. Is it possible to replace a section of pipe with a flexible hydronic hose & steel compression fittings. Also do you have to use RR fluid.

Thanks James
I am trying to avoid going anywhere near the block so as not to have any leaks from there in the future. I see your point. I am not sure the block is as troublesome as I have read but they also suffer from corrosion. I read it can cost over £1500. To have this job done but a full set of pipes can be got for under £300 this makes for a lot of labour

the hardest bit is getting seal packs to seal if blocks corroded were seals sit, used blocks are cheap enough
