Heater Valve
I have replaced the heater valve with a new one but that is also leaking. My supplier tells me that the system must be pressurising and causing the valve to leak. How do I check if the system is pressurising. Regards Richard

It is pressurising…..because that's how the cooling system is designed. It shouldn't leak even when under pressure.
They are known for leaking - look at other recent threads here.
Take it back to the shop and get a refund/replacement.
