In my experience, they originals are good for about 7-10yrs.

As its not too bad a job, I'm happy if it only lasts 4-5yrs, given the price difference

Mine was last replaced in April 2010 so it's probably due to become incontinent at any moment.
According to the invoice the garage charged for two hours labour. :(

Seems excessive. :-\

At £15 it may be worth ordering a 'spare'.... :y

Did I read a post where the HBV was moved to a more accessible position?

Its standard location isn't too much of a ballache anyway (assuming nobody has fitted LPG ::)). Scuttle off is 2 nuts, 1 screw and 8 plastic clips.

Only issue if one of the hose clips is at an awkward angle.
