thermoacc Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Quite like that. Good post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slybunda Posted December 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 reports iv read on other forums seem to have no issues or faults with them, build quality seems to be very good on them too. was hoping there were some celica users on here that had used them and could share their experiences. the one with the pipe on the end allows easy draining with a tube, after the mess i made earlier in the year this would be a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 nice idea but not for me - fixing a problem that doesnt exist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slybunda Posted December 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 better picture of it below, i understand that its not for problem fixing, its more of a convenience tool. but if people say its dodgey or unreliable then i will give it a miss.

SKINY Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 we had these on the lorries in work until one got hit by road debris causing it to open, lorries engine was fecked before it could get stopped as the pressure just force emptied it. be handy but 30 seconds with the spanner is just as easy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slybunda Posted December 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 ok will not bother with this valve. did lorry not have undertray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKINY Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 no mate, and its a good few feet of the ground too. our off road trucks have them but they have half inch thick under-trays lol. i would rather spend the few quid on a magnetic sump bung.
