Hi Chaps I recently acquired my 1991 240 SE with a leaking heater valve. I have now got the replacement valve from Brookhouse ( £22.33 inc VAt, delivery, and two bits of hose), and ready to fit it. I have stripped out and dried the carpets and foam backed underlay, and located the valve. It looks a bit awkward to work on given my backs preference for avoiding twists and turns, but otherwise a simple plumbing job. Does the coolant need to be drained off before disconnecting, or will I be able to catch any minor leakage in suitable bucket? Any other tips or warnings would be gratefully received. Cheers 146ken I am tempted to set up an owners club for the Hoover Aquamaster. 16 years old and still cleans/dries up anything I point it at from building rubble to 1/2gallon of engine coolant extracted from 240's carpets.
