It does come off, it is nut shaped at the bottom but an odd size if I recall

H.p.  valve is 13277003 £3.77 +vat on tc.
As just got one,am a bit scared to undo the old one as it seems FT and dont want to snap pipe

I have 2 of those pipes complete with valves and surplus to requirements.  In fact, I have 2 whole AC systems going to land-fill shortly (once I weigh the box to see how much weight I've saved by not re-fitting it)

[mantahatch]

From memory there are 3 different ones. One pre 99 one 99 and one post 99. I had this problem on mums old Omega and the 99 was a special for afew months only or so the dealer told me. still cheap though.

Yes ..... it does. Support the boss that's welded to the pipe with your 17mm spanner (so it doesn't shear  ) & unscrew the valve with a 15mm socket.
