strung together this:

Join the 2 pipe ends with a 10mm straight end-feed connector and push back
into the cavity.

Er, don't do this.


Very informative and helpful -


Just as informative as the reasons as to why to do it in the first
place.

why not??


You're just bridging the flow and return mid-circuit, thus creating a
path of little or no resistance so hot water will be leaving the
boiler, shooting over to the return via Ciceros neat trick, and then
returning to the boiler which will then shut off as the return is as
hot as the flow.

This is the extremities of what might happen, but I wouldn't recommend
just linking bits of your flow and return together as any symptoms
between not a lot and the above could start showing up.
