RogerH Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Hi Tim, I just tried Amazon and they will NOT deliver to the UK. Could you get me one whilst on your holiday if it is not too much trouble. See PM Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Bourne Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 I've just bought 2 off from the Amazon UK site and they have confirmed shipped to UK with a tracking No. I've done it before and it's easy.. best Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mk2 Chopper Posted July 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 I don't get it I've managed to order two Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spit_2.5PI Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Same here - I log in to the .com site no problem and it says they do delivery to uk c/w customs charges. But in the checkout when I select my address it claims there's an error. Help says it might be one of several things including no delivery to your country. Can I phone someone to ask for help? 'Course not, it's a bloody computer. Grrrr! Cheers, Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

colin3511 Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Get an in line version off ebay - search on 5/8 heater valve Taxi and there it is. £14.50 delivered. Then you just need an adaptor for the head and a 90 degree pipe. Doddle. Bend the cable or Revington TR have a neat connector block for a fiver. Colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jogger321 Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 How did you get Amazon to do this. They don't appear to ship to the UK.

colin3511 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 That looks like it. Perhaps double check with them before ordering. They sell the complete kit but it's touching £100. Let me know if you are struggling and I'll dig out the invoice/part number. Thanks, Colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foster461 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 FYI I used to find the everco valve for around $22 but the lowest price that I can find today is $29 from Rock Auto. Still a good deal for a fit and forget heater valve. I have never understood why the UK TR parts suppliers have not stocked them, Perhaps insufficient volume, margin or no viable supplier.

I used to get Stan to send me a bunch of them at a time but when the Dollar rate went down it was making them too expensive with shipping and tax. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SpitFireSIX Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hi, I ditched the heater valve over twenty years ago. No regrets. The car is toasty in the winter and roofs down in the summer. The one functioning lever is always on defrost. If i was wanting to control flow thru the heater I would fit a 12V solenoid. Just my opinion. For my daily. Cheers, Iain.
