Almost certainly electric heater valve. MAKE SURE THE ORIGINAL RECALLED PRESSURE CAP HAS BEEN REPLACED!

where's the electric heater valve?
How do you change it?
(sorry to hijack, just taken out my mats and found my floor is soaked on the passenger side still.)

It's the thing that looks like an electric valve on the LH side of the heater assembly.
Take off the RH panel in the glovebox to access it.
Change it by unscrewing its screws, and the hose under the bonnet.
