Good morning Brian and welcome to the Forum.

The Black Olive valve you refer to is only available through the club shop, open only to full members of the Two-Sixties.
Quite a few special 260 items are available there, many commissioned and made specially for club members.
With parts become scarce or totally non-available, the club shop is often the only way of acquiring some items.

The Two-Sixties Forum is hosted by the MG Owners Club, and MGOC members can join the Two-Sixties as full members, free of charge.
MGOC annual membership currently cost a little over £40. See: https://www.mgownersclub.co.uk/benefits

In addition to the shop, Two-Sixties full members have unrestricted access to a wealth of technical information and personal advice from expert owners here. To become a full member, send a message here to Tim, with your email address, asking for a questionnaire.

Hope that helps :).

The one I have recently fitted is one of these https://www.dmgrs.co.uk/products/zt260-rover-75-v8-heater-control-valve-jge000020?_pos=1&_sid=654f82d0b&_ss=r&variant=30302459396232

Is a lot smaller than the black olive version and works perfectly, its almost exactly the same as the original item.

Still join the club though as there some great info and some one will always be able to come up with a way to solve a problem.

Welcome along Brian, return the questionnaire and will sort you out.

The DMGRS valve is as Steve says smaller and cheaper and is a good like for like replacement. The clubs though is a valve enhancement, using a brass three port valve.

Once a member and while in the shop look at the improved top heater hose. The originals have a habit of popping but if you have had your car for a good time then you may have had it sorted.

And done forget the heater pipe restrictor tube!

And done forget the heater pipe restrictor tube!
May already have one fitted of course, not that they are expensive in the shop. Worth checking.
Was yours already fitted, Jeremy, or did you end up buying one?
