thanks for the pics, the resistance seems ok, ive acquired a different valve to try out, other than that Ive got hold of a new fuel pump and filters to give a whirl too..

 

thanks for the help, replaced the valve, it checked ok but must have been buggered inside..

i replaced it with an idle valve from a 2l 16v astra, its exactly the same except for a slightly larger diameter inlet (and being metal), both are made by bosch and it seems to work fine, does anyone know of any long term issues with using them, as its a lot easier to get vauxhall ones...?




and on to the radiator..
