Thread: D1 facelift, heater valve.

There you go 4bee. Get yourself some copper pipe and hose clamps

Ladas.

Was the pipework still located in one place as per the valve, or how was it done differently?

Went for a run today with heater turned off, & it seems the HT grease is doing the trick for now.

Trying to get the above links to reply to queries ain't fun. Tw*ts!

Seems you can't ditch the valve & replumb without doing other heater box modifications. I'll take his word for it.

Ordered a new valve locally & as scouse said was $49 in GST, so not worth buggering around with.

Ex-Stealer (Black Forest) $56 inc. GST overnight.

Land Ranger Spares. $49 inc. GST. off the shelf.

It's one of those items that I would have expected to cost a bomb.

Thanks for respective advice.

That is interesting.
Scouse do you know if there are different part numbers for the heater boxes?

It is nice to have pleasant surprises every so often

Yes it is & if the valve lasts another 11 years it'll do me.
It's not as though it was peeing out, only weeping but who can say when the seal around the actuating crank might blow & then it might pee out.

I'll open the old one up after I'm sure the newie works ok, & see what makes it tick.

Info only.

For a A$49 part.

Reply from the USA.

Shipping by mail / costs US $31.75 (A$35)

Fedex Economy US $70.65
Thanks,

No, according to my info, the heater assy is all the same for through out the update D1.

Too late now, but what is in place of the valve or is it totally different in that area, Scouse?
