Woodburner - liner diameter

[Richardk]

I about to order and install a Villager woodburner which has a 152mm flue diameter. The problem here is two fold though:

1. No one seems to stock that flue size near me (Narbonne - 11)

2. The local brico's stock 180mm for substantially less that the quoted price for ordering in 155mm (30% cheaper)

Am I likely to run into any problems if I just go with 180mm flue for the flexible converting down to 152 for the rigid pipe connecting to the stove itself?

Sickeningly I just looked at the price of flexible flues in the UK....far, far cheaper than here!

Any constructive input appreciated.
