At present I have a Baxi Combi instant 105e. I'm thinking of replacing
this with, possibly a Baxi 105HE. Apart from the obvious need for the
condensate drain, would the new boiler fit as a direct replacement for
the 105e?

I don't think they use the same jig so there will be some adjustment
to match the pipes exactly to the new jig. This will be fiddly rather
than difficult.

They certainly look similar, but I can't put my hands on the
installation manual for the old one.

Why are you changing?

The old one is showing signs of its age, also the condensing one
should be a bit more efficient.

Spend ~ £1000 to save what, £20 / year?

Think of the energy involved in the manufacture of the new boiler, and
the environmental effect of disposal of the old one
