... basically ive changed the valve a while back and all off a sudden its gone again, but its leaking from the other outlet aswel as the inlet pipe now just thinking on getting a new matrix and valve.....been trying to find where to buy this valve but cant find anywhere? , does anyone no where i can get one from?

and how hard it is to pull out the whole mechanism to swap the matrix over, unless someone is interested in doing it for me,

ill pay of course?
cheers

Has the coolant pressure cap been changed as per 1996 safety recall?
