2007 S Type with malfunctioning disc changer. Possible generic part across all models of that year? Any recommendations for a non stock replacement?

Just completed this job today and thanks to guidance from Sam it was done in a little over 2 hours. A great time saver if you're doing this job is to remove the mounting plate (1 torx screw) and take it out with the valve attached, disconnect the hoses from the car and remove valve with hoses in situ and replace them on the new valve being mindful of orientation and, as per Sam's advice use plenty of silicone spray for refitting to the car. Re the splash guards I just drilled out the rusty fittings and replaced, saved a LOT of time. Thanks again to Sam as I don't think I'd have been so keen to tackle this job without his guidance.You sir, are a hero, someone's always got to be first.Also, further to Sam's advice, I purchased a tool from amazon it looks like an overgrown grip of some kind with a wire attachment but it is the absolute dogs b*ll*cks for this job. As I say, without being forewarned I'd have gone at it with my usual mole grips which would've been another time nightmare.

Right, had a look on google and it seems quite straight forward, I'll let you know how it goes although I won't get to it until the weekend. That'll give me time to get the new one in ( use or return of course )

Thanks for the quick response Jim, I'll go ask uncle google.

Hi newbie here, I have a 2007 2.7 Diesel S type with low mileage, 62,000, in the last week the heating has packed in. I'm not losing any water and engine temp is perfectly normal. New thermostat, water pump and belt fitted 15 months ago although engine temp would lead away from this anyway, any help greatly appreciated.
