    I still haven't got round to doing mine yet!

     

    How long did the job take you?

  • Quote

    All in all about two hours for all 5 hoses, not the easiest of jobs i must say

    Were they actually OK ? It's the springs that go weak - if you shake the valve and it rattles then they're bin fodder. Alternatively, if they're just gummed up with cak then they could probably be cleaned and reused.

    Just received my valves (brand new) and they rattle. Are the fooked?

    yes would question that, as the springs in them are weak anyway, a good shake will cause them to rattle. Surely there is a more "scientific" test??

     

    Also Baggins, you may want to think about keeping them if they are cushty. Think BIG PICTURE :)

    They do rattle if I give them a little shake. But when I push a pen down onto the metal plate they go down and come back no problem. Do these sound Ok.

     

    I just dont want to fit the buggers and find out they are dud!...

     

     

    Cheers.
