As above can the drain for a boiler be run out side on to grass or does it have to go to a drain

It should go to a drain or soak away. Its mildly acidic.

put it in to the soil pipe in the corner theres a water trap on the condensate pipe in the boiler

Drain or soakaway, drain has to be foul and not rainwater, unless its combined underground

yes the drain is pointless as does nothing apart from take the boiler pipe cut it low or take out the cement and cap it off at floor level

Drill through the soil pipe with a spade bit and put the pipe through then mastic round it. Bodgit and Scarper ltd.

Mine just goes through the wall onto paving slabs.
Easy to see if the PRV has gone.
Or is that a different drain we are on about?

So does mine. British gas moaned one year that it should be pointing down not just outwards (along the wall), so I loosely popped a 90 yorkshire bend on it whilst he had his back turned.

Mine does point down 90 degrees.
Much better exposed as you can see problems sooner.

Here you go, this would work. I think a strapped version would be more secure though if you can get one in there.
