Anyone had success mending them or is it time for a new one?

New one: as others have pointed out you can get one for £60 and they're a
urine sample to fit provided the tails they fit to have been installed
securely: just turn off the water, undo the two big chromed nuts, remove
old valve, fit new one in reverse of above.



Thanks John, but in this case the body has been heavily modified for a
non standard installation and I would rather not start re-machining a
new one but instead fit a new thermostat to the existing body.

Cheers
