If they are repeatedly failing it may be because the they are not up to the job they are doing, you havent specified what the valve is for, common sense would say it should last longer than a year especially if its happened twice so you need to check the bumf it came with or download it and make sure its working within all it parameters i.e. Temp, voltage, pressure etc etc ..... i assume its opening up to let a fluid through check their isnt any contaminants building up and blocking the mechanics etc

cheers for replying , yh no good just replacing it, if they ring me back il tell them to get a somone who knows more about than me and il meet him there and learn a bit maybe...... i have read about the vlave sticking and could have build up... il post more on this when i know more

Prob as darkwood says, it needs a high torque one and it's burning out as someone has fitted a standard one when it went the first time.

Fernox..or Sentinel...get a plumber to flush it out before fitting a new valve...
