Heater Valve in UK? 700 1986

A couple of weeks ago, I was using my brick to jump start a JCB farm special at work. As I rev up, I hear a loud "pop" and there's coolant everywhere. Turns out it was the heater water valve, I pulled it off (out of both pipes) and the cause seems to be perished plastic. It's the vacuum operated one cause I've got ACC. I went to a Volvo dealer who'd got one, but wanted £49 GBP for it. Not bloody likely!

So the question is: Does anyone know where I can get one of these valves from in the UK? I'm running with a bit of copper pipe in its place at the moment, so I've always got coolant running through my heater - warming me up!

Cheers
