Location: Espoo, Finland		..and autumn is coming.
So, can anyone of you fellow enthusiasts help a little bit?
It's this common problem: heater valve is leaking and NAPA sells this cheap repair kit, but I can't order it.
In fact, there are two cars needing it.
If someone local could order those and then send them to Finland, it would be very, very nice.
All costs to me, of course.

PM me about payment and so on.

Location: Netherlands		You can bypass the heater valve for the time being and plug the hoses directly into heater.
If it gets too hot just open the windows

Jari, We mailed three of these to you in Finland two days ago. At the NAPA store, these are $10.88 each. I'd be glad to do the same for you Sid in Germany. Richard plymouthranch@gmail.com +1 408 409 6246

How many of these kits will you be needing? I can stop at the store and have them here for you when you arrive Saturday.

Please let me know, John

Location: Auckland, New Zealand.		Does anybody have any information on what is included in these kits, maybe even a photo, and what is involved in installing the kit? These sound so cheap and people seem to report these parts leaking so often, maybe I should have a kit on the shelf myself.

It's just a round rubber gasket. It's nothing more than that

Hi John,

In fact I need an whole heater valve, cause mine had its capillary tube bent out of shape.
And I don't know if it is repairable ... Maybe it is, though.

So I will be looking for a heater valve (for a 705 heater core) next saturday at your place.
However, if a cheap repair kit is available at NAPA's, it's always smart to have one.
So I do need just one kit.

Thanks.

It's all cheap over there for us. I bought 16 spark plugs for the price I can get 4 of them over here.

Good idea ...
I have to check for the correct spark plug reference for my engine, though.

Anything else while I'm there ?
Or do I go crazy at NAPA's, buying everything they've got ?

How does it work ?
Do I have to make my order online and then choose a store to pick it up ?
Or can I just walk into any NAPA store and buy from them ?
