Post by: Tony H on 01 June 2009, 23:05:02
As title replaced the HBV today thanks to PeteG for his "How to"very helpful :y It was a bit of a fiddle when you've got hands like bunches of bananas and fingers like cumberland sausages but I got there in the end less a bit of knuckle skin! :o I bought the replacement valve from the main stealers and was suprised to find that there was no G.M markings on either the box or the part  anyone Know the score? :-/

I would keep a sharp eye on the replacement.  There was a thing on here some months ago about non gen HBV's from dealers. Ensure you keep your receipt......  ;)

It is very easy to get to whent he scuttle cover and wiper motor is removed. I had my plenum and inlet manifold off too so that might have made it slightly easier. It took me a couple of minutes to change, but several to remove all the bits to get to it easily!
