That's not the valve just the bypass to work with a 4 way control valve . Could you not replace with a complete generic control such as on live link below? ![[Linked Image]](http://www.kitcardirect.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/h/e/heater-control-valve-002_burned.jpg)

I put a ‘Taxi heater control valve’ on my ‘82 4/4.
It seems to work fine.
£14.50 on eBay.

Yes I'm sure that would work fine on an earlier engine. I guess the modern equivalent with four way valve is to not upset the overall coolant flow on current prissy engines irrespective of heater setting.
