upgraded heater valve - Page 2

Our 260 heating & cooling works adequately.
But then again we never have our CDTi heater much past 22 deg C any way, nor do we use the Aircon on MAX LO either.

Am I alone on this (or a bit odd!!??)
Are there any other V8 owners happy with their HOT or COLD?

If any one has changed the heater valve and still has the old one. I would be interested in having it, to see how it works and see if an alternative design is posible.

I dont have a V8 so dont know how it is made, exept that from the photo I would expect the leak to be from the valve spindle.

So if you have an old one to give away please pm me and I will pay for any postage.

Black Olive from The Two-Sixties has already sourced a very substantial looking replacement control valve and we are awaiting the results of his tests.
