I'm about to do my heater valve also so this is a useful thread for me.
On the radiator draining front though I managed to drain mine by cutting a large orange squash bottle in half & jamming that under the bottom pipe connection.
If I remember correctly it sat on the plastic guard thing that protects the underside of the engine.
When I spoke to CP Motors in Tamworth about fitting the heater valve their guy Colin told me it isn't a hard job, just a bit tricky. Mind you In my case I can guaruntee it will be a half day nightmare of messy carpet and swearing.
Regards
Ben
