TR NIALL Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 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. If that’s your Car in your Profile Pic you ditched a bit more than the Heater Valve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Bizarre - have ordered 2, they are due for delivery tomorrow via DPD. best Bill Hi Bill, I have tried and tried but with no success.

Bill Bourne Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hi Bill, I have tried and tried but with no success. I even logged into the US site at Amazon.com but still nothing. Your arrival from the US by tomorrow should be interesting.!! Roger Hi Roger, yes and I’ll let you know. I’ve only bought these as spares, so if you want one of them let me know. I don’t think your are far from me. So you might have to come over, say hello and perhaps get a cuppa and a biscuit! Best Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rcreweread Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 I wonder if being a member of Amazon Prime has anything to do with the fact that some people appear to be able to order these and others can't? Just a thought. Cheers Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nigel A Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 I was wondering this as well as we are in prime. Cheers Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kevo_6 Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 I tried with prime, no can do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Bourne Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Mine arrived today. But only 1 when I ordered 2. They only charged for 1 so far. Maybe they are short supply? We will see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mk2 Chopper Posted July 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) Just got mine today too, fitted along with the connector block cable clamp as suggested here earlier. I used the correct spanner and didn't over tighten it this time! Edited July 28, 2018 by Mk2 Chopper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DRD Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Rich that was the total with shipping to the UK. Daz Got mine today - don't bother with Amazon, use Rockauto Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spit_2.5PI Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Just to resurrect this one, after trying many times to order that wretched valve through Amazon, I tried again last week ... AND IT LET ME DO IT! Well, today the package arrived from the States and I have a lovely little heater valve to fit when I find the time. £34.63 incl. delivery - OK, it would have been £38.25 from Rockauto without the heartache. I should have stumped up the nearly £4 extra! Cheers, Richard "Cheapskate" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Bourne Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Mine arrived today. But only 1 when I ordered 2. They only charged for 1 so far. Maybe they are short supply? We will see. My 2nd one arrived about 10 days ago Took a while, but no issues best Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DRD Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Not sure they are worth all the effort! I fitted mine OK but it still doesn't close when you push the knob back in (it did initially though). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Not sure they are worth all the effort! I fitted mine OK but it still doesn't close when you push the knob back in (it did initially though). You may need to reset the cable run then. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim D. Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Have had one fitted for a few years and you do need to set it so that knob fully in equals valve fully closed. Then for me I get everything from mildey tepid to full furnace in 4-5 clicks. Cheers Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
