This is now a product of Invensys Controls and I believe is made in their
Southway Drive factory in Plymouth, if indeed it is still made. The more
recent versions have a removable head so if yours is fixed spare parts might
not be available. There's no harm in asking though. 01752 737166.

I've tried googling but as with most engineering
component manufacturers, the name you see on
the part is usually completely unassociated with
the name of the company that produces it... in my
experiences anyway!!

My dad's CH and HW system uses "Lifestyle"
components who, according to the labels are based
in West Dreyton (Drayton?) in London.

I tried fixing the CH 2-port motorised valve last
week as, on inspection, it became obvious that
the 'plastic' manual override lever had lost a 'lug'
within the valve head. I was able to find the broken
bit and re-affix using superglue... with a word of
warning that "it might not last" I put all the covers
back on and fired up the system. This has worked
perfectly all week, but it seems that now the quick
fix has failed under normal use.

Any ideas where I can get replacement parts for
these things as it seems daft (and expensive) to
have to replace the whole head (or even the whole
valve, as is another of my experiences with engineering
companies)??

Thanks for any info leading to me finding another
needle in the preverbial haystack that is the web
as well as the occupation of home-maintenance!
