    Default Weeping heater valve

    Found a small seep coming from the heater water control valve. Can this be fitted with new seals? Otherwise works fine

    Take it you mean the valve sort of under the n/s wiper around the pollen filter - these are basically crap - made in mexico out of baked bean cans.

    Best bet is to replace it with a Black Olive Special PM on way with details

    I've got a spare original version if you want it - brand new, £50.

    Mind you, I have got the uprated one fitted, but if you are short of cash, I'm your man

    if the outer seal is weeping, the inner ones willl also be disintegrating.
