My heater valve has given up today I’ve source a replacement just wondered whether this can be changed without draining the system as the coolant has recently been changed?
Thanks

There will be some leakage, but if you undo the 2 jubilee clips first, then get the new valve to hand it can be switched fairly quickly with minimal coolant loss. You will still need to bleed the system afterwards though to disperse any airlocks, but you shouldn't need to add too much fluid.

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?
