Any tips on how to get it out of this particular boiler? I've learned that they are not so easy to remove on some makes/models, half the boiler needs to be taken apart.
I'm still looking but like previous time, how many you got to try before realising it's a waste of time? How long can you go without the item not working??

105e is at least 2005 at the newest, 105he can be upto 2009 or 10
From baxi
2.21 Plate Heat Exchanger (Fig. 64)
1. Drain the primary circuit.
2. While supporting the heat exchanger undo the
screws securing it to the brass manifolds.
3. Withdraw the heat exchanger upwards and to
the left of the gas valve, taking care not to
damage any wires or controls.
Seals
4. There are four rubber seals between the
manifolds and heat exchanger which may need
replacement.
5. Ease the seals out of the manifold. Replace
carefully, ensuring that the seal is inserted into
the manifold parallel and pushed fully in.
6. When fitting the new heat exchanger note that
the left hand location stud is offset towards the
centre more than the right hand one.
7. Reassemble in reverse order.

Many thanks for that,....I really can't see how it could physical get out without either removing the diverter valve on the left or the pump on the right, amazed that neither is mentioned.
Will post a picture tomorrow, showing what I can see at least,...not saying that Baxi are wrong, just can't currently see how that's possible right now.

If I recall from my Baxi, genuine exchanger seals were something horrific like £12 each - for glorified O-rings.
I tried reusing them but they seeped a bit so ended up with new ones.
It was a bit touchy about inlet water pressure as well - Genesis 80 (I've ranted about it on here before so will leave it there - especially as there's a pint of Guinness with my name on it D

Ah, OK.
Didn't get around to taking a picture of my boiler internals today but the layout looks very similar to this one, skip to 1.30, he shows how he removed it, above the pump basically. Is there a better way or would Baxi say that's the correct way to do it, don't know. Yes that guy gives some false information/get's things muddled up but
for effort/trying I say.Looks like those seals come with a new Baxi exchanger, the whole lot comes to around £80 though.
