Absolutely essential

The need for this valve, and correct installation, and actual intended function, have been confounding V12 owners (well, some of us) for a long time. I removed mine and never looked back. Good idea? Bad Idea? Hell, I dunno !

The Great Palm discusses it. I have, pre my coolant system simplification, tried:
My advice is forget about it and remove it.

- with the valve in place preventing fluid going from the spout to the banjo

- no valve.

Thanks all, I think I will depose of it. A couple of years after I bought the car I removed the small hose and the valve body was in place but the jiggle pin was missing. Never did find it. But I fitted a new one so water could flow to the banjo. Now I'm changing the small hose and I had fitted the new valve into the hose as I had fitted a later crossover pipe and the valve wouldn't fit in the filler neck.
