Are there any more hacks/tips/tricks I should know about for old heating systems? 

Combi boilers have been around for donkeys years they aren't a modern invention, systems are being fitted all the time exactly like yours, while combi's have their place they are only suitable if you have good enough pressure & flow & even then they are only really good enough for one outlet at a time to be used, your heating system won't be any different from what you are used to the only thing you will have to get used to is setting the time clock so you have hot water when you want it, most people find a couple of hours in the morning & slightly longer in the evening if people are using baths/showers
