Eating Diverter Valves

[Gokiwi64]

Okay so my car has eaten 3 diverter valves , it now has a cheap shitty metal piston type fitted (sorry Bill).

The first and second ones (both 710N) had the bottom connector pipe crack where it joins the main body, the 3rd one a 710P just simply stopped working.

Is there anything that could cause this or have I just been unlucky , car averages over 300 miles per week and gets driven fairly hard so maybe its to be expected ?

Why don't you just fit yourself a 007p or 8?

Says who? Goki is having trouble with standard plastic diverted valves cracking. This isn't going to happen to the forge aluminium bodied 007p.
