Do you just want the alloy bit or the whole cast block? is there any corrosion on the alloy thats making it leak? they should seat on an o ring where they screw in but if the alloy electrovalve is eaten away im sure someone will have one about somewhere.

Hi Dean, Its the alloy bit thats leaking, corroded into a mush, tried to remove but couldent because of the corrosion, afraid to put too much torque at the time but if had a replacement would remove old one, one way or another, so in answer to your question, just the alloy bit would do fine. I think the sphere is ok! Bob H.

I will have a look, i dont know if the ones i have are rusty or mangled or not but i will check tonight.

Hi Dean, Thanks for looking, hope you have one you can spare, cant stop the leak, one more try today but dont have a lot of confidence of success. Bob.H.

Hi Bob

No luck im affraid, the ones i have were given to me but are in a bad way.
Have a go on Frenchcarforum, its been confirmed that they are the same as xant ones so just ask on there for a Hydractive2 electrovalve.
There is plenty of traffic there and a good few people with spares.

Hi Dean Thanks for trying, will try the french forum as suggested, Bob H,
