I have a pretty new Worcester Bosch Combi 27Cdi, and the plastic key
used to lock and unlock the link cannot be removed from the unlock
position. As it is plastic, and the fitting is plastic, I am reluctant
to apply to much force!! At the moment it is left in, just turned to
the unlocked position, and I don't suppose it will do any harm that
way, but how can it be removed please?

Donno. Maybe it's designed that way? Will it come out in the lock position?

If it's like my 24i junior, it need a good shove to get it in, and a
good tug to get it out. IIRC there's a black seal about halfway that's a
very tight fit

Yes, it did need a good shove to get in, and i did note the two 'O'
rings - maybe I just need to work at it....

They need quite good pull, to get them out. Pull down hard, whilst
turning it and you should feel it drop into the exit slot. Then it just
needs a good pull.

If it is in the unlocked position just pull it out. There is an O ring
seal that will resist but then it should pop out.

Mine (a WB Greenstar Junior 28) does allow the plastic key to be pulled
out. It has two O-rings on the shaft which make it difficult to pull
out. (does yours go in the bottom of the boiler, pointing down?)

You could do worse than check with WB technical. They have been
friendly and helpful on the two occasions that I've called with a query.

Why are so many people unable to properly phrase a question in clear and

No "please" or "hi folks". No mention of what this key actually looks
like or roughly which Worcester Bosch boiler this is...

As we are onto angle grinder I expect others saw and and lots know but
there was a program on TV where they used angle grinders to cut the toe

The Waschester is an interesting device. Made in 1970 it was ahead of
its time and incorporated features taken from the Hoover Keymatic.
Inserting the correct key set it to wash socks, underwear or small
dogs as well as providing luke warm water to the radiators. The key
used for programming was prone to insertion errors and to remove it
when stuck you opened the frogseiner, inserted a wollycobler and
twisted the grubteir until it clicked. If that failed you wellied it
with a Birmingham Screwdriver.

On mine you push the key upwards, then half a turn anti clockwise and
pull it out. A bit stiff as I recall.

And why did doing that make you 'a bit stiff'?

They seem to have given up on keys in recent models, no doubt the
hassle annoyed customers. It was 'unlocking' the fill-up loop.

I see. Mine doesn't have a filling loop internally at all, according to
the plumber who put it in. And arranged an external filling loop beside
it. With the keyed ones, were you supposed to detach the actual loop
(as in the old rules) or did the key obviate this step?
