Is it one of the pipes leaking, or the valve itself? Lots of GS's breaking on eBay to get one from.

Its leaking from the top of the hose where the actual valve sits on will look into eBay on Monday I'll try my local breaker and see if he has one handy

Picked up the HCV this morning from my local yard cost me £12 and about 15min to fit so far so good the leak has stopped will keep an eye on it over the next few days

Good result. Make sure you have it adjusted right or you end up getting no heat in the winter months.

I had opened the rad cap inc the resoviour cap to let the pressure out then dis assembled the HCV and fitted the new one with the lever on shut which is fully down attached the cable and then tried the fans hot air cold air all operational including fan speed and no leaks does that seem right or have missed out on anything
