Well, the recirc valve just arrived in the post, and the dog has beaten me to it and chewed it in half (well annoyed).

Anyone know the part number so I can order one from dealer?

Thanks

If you're on about the DV then get a Forge 007p - you'll never have to replace it (hopefully) unlike the standard one which you'll be replacing in a couple of years

Ive just fitted a new Blow-off Valve from the main stealers, and I 'think' the problem might be fixed!
I need to take it on a longer trip to be sure, but initially it seems to have stopped making the noise. Fingers crossed!

Now I can get back to saving for them keskins!

Thanks for all your help so far guys!

Quick update: No more chirping noises, I think that problem is fixed.

One problem though, the cheap plastic pipe which goes into the bottom of the silicone T shaped pipe I replaced has split where it goes into my new silicone pipe!

Is there an aftermarket pipe I should look into getting to replace it? or does anyone else have experience with this pipe breaking?

Also, I still have a slight wooshing air sound as if there might be another air leak somewhere else? Is the pancake pipe a suspect? (Ive checked all the pipes on the top of the bay and they are fine). whats the best way to get a peak at the pancake?
