Kingfisher MF Valve required!

[mwardm]

Do any of you lovely engineers happen to have a new (obsolete) gas valve for a Kingfisher MF they want to get rid of? It's a VK4100T1000 / 5102729. (I have an engineer lined up to fit it.) Should be able to make it worth your while!

Cheers,
Mike.

Thanks Shaun!



Beeston are out of stock but have offered me a non-SOFTLITE version of the same valve and have told me that's okay for all size Kingfisher MFs. (I had put more detail here but the "post reply" button is telling me I'm spamming, so I've cut it out. That's okay,
it was probably TMI anyway.)

The "okay for all" appears to be unofficial. I spoke to Baxi and they confirmed that the official word is that the 5102729 part can be used on the smaller RS40 and RS50 but the non-softlite 5102728 is not (officially) usable on the RS60 and up.

So I'm back to looking again :-(

Thanks, yeah. Sorry, I wrote a response to that in the detail I threw away earlier:

There's one on [that website] that's used (for a couple of hundred). I don't really want to go there yet, if my engineer even wanted to fit it. (The current valve I've got is kinda working - it's just that the PCB blows every few days. Hey, I could put it on [that website] afterwards! )

There's another one on [that website] for (clears throat!) six hundred and forty quid but I phoned via their retail website asking for a price and was told they were out of stock, so I'm using that as an excuse not to go there either.

There are others on [that website] labelled up 5102729 but they're actually the wrong part
