Surely one for an ac specialist? Valve can't be expensive to add to a normal ac service...?

The valve on top unscrews like your tyre valves, the other at the front requires a 15mm socket & a 17mm(?) spanner to support the boss welded to the pipework.

It is quite fragile where it is welded, but is easy to replace.

The pipework? Far easier to not have to replace it  ;) ;)

Anyone know part no for front one? Can only find part no for top, presumably different, going by Andy B's comments?

By the top part, is that the one nearest the firewall and just back from the ICV? if so can someone post the part number for that as mine has gone and i'd like to replace.

Found on EPC
5248177

EPC also lists 3041827 for 2.5 and 3.0, which matches PN for top valve
