Oh no it's not..... :-D

What about Lotus using the Holden Commodore for trial and development work on the environmental control system. Or basically.... we'll just use that heater controller, that tap, that blower...

See eBay item No 120399250426

Or am I just being a geek.....

Having a bit of free time today and suspecting my cars coolant system was just filled with water I finally decided to do coolant flush plus recirculation pump, CTS and thermostat replacement..

I noticed that there was no hot air coming from the car vents (not normally needed here so I guess I never checked it before)!

Heater valve looked like this... :shock:

After referencing the wiki and ordering a new 1 from breydon motors and being curious to the look of the "origional valve" shown I wondered if mine had been replaced with a non standard unit??

Wanting to get the car back together and not wait a few weeks for the Uk order thought I'd search locally for a new valve and came up with this.

AC delco part # 12515169 not sure which other car it is fitted to but although it looks different it fits and works fine

Doing a search for the part # I came up with http://www.autopartsdeal.com/Parts_List ... aguar/xj6/
It shows an identical valve to what I removed as well as the part I fitted

I guess main reason for the post is to help people outside of the Uk who need an alternative solution...

Hope the info is usefull to someone
