VCV
I changed my vcv valve a month ago and not use my Land Rover much since. I have just noticed that is has developed a diesel leak around the valve. When I removed the valve to investigate I discovered that the O-ring on the valve is damaged. Is it possible buy a replacemnt O-ring for or would I need to buy a new valve?

Thanks

It is almost certainly a standard size O ring and can be replaced, the only problem is figuring out the right size. A box of assorted O rings would be cheaper than a new VCV.

Drop an email to PF Jones. I expect they can pop a few in the post for you if you ask nicely.

If that doesn’t work then try Blackwolfs suggestion above. WeWillWin🇬🇧🇺🇸

Thanks for the advice I managed to get another o ring and changed it over and the leak is gone! Thumbs Up Michael
