    You could replace the valve with a more conventional type (e.g. Connect’s VAL98115 10.5mm bore, allegedly fits Whp) and use crimp connectors. Just need to experiment a bit with volt meter, to find which wire does what, when. Or just pull off the circuit board from the existing valve terminals and you’ll have bare terminals sticking up. Need to lengthen wires and make sure it all goes back safely of course. ( I say that not for your benefit, I’m sure you’re perfectly competent, but in case someone says I’m a cowboy for suggesting such a thing :rolls: )

    I’m sure you can. I did it on a Bosch which had same sort of valve at similarly daft price!
