Thank you Tim
No I didn't notice the green to blue lol.. Yes please let me know when heater valves arrive.
If it is the correct item is it by the pollen filter? As it looks new and going through the history has had one fitted??

thread on resetting, assuming its got a black olive valve fitted,

even if its had a new original style valve fitted the seals harden and leak even though the valve looks perfectly serviceable, and it only takes a sniff of hot water to make the cabin unbearably hot

Although I have a B-O valve, as most of us do, is that resistance value a good way of checking that an original MGR valve is at least (attempting to) close off correctly, or is that in some way different?

Its a long while ago since I developed my valve, but Im sure I used a good original valve to check the cold resistance and Ive used the same actuator so I would say yes.

Having said that the actuaturs are a bosch part and very reliable, unlike the valve itself which the originals were made in mexico, presumably from recycled bean cans
