easily fixed - no spanners...
...using a product called K-seal (Google it) ...it worked for me and is maybe worth trying just because of the amount of hassle it saves.

If the jubilee clips on the valve itself are rusted they can be very hard to undo, as the valve isn't fixed firmly and just flaps about on the hoses. It's easier to undo the hoses at the metal pipes in the bulkhead and at the heater itself, and then sort out the hoses on the bench. But beware, the copper pipes are very soft - it's easy to crush the heater pipes with pliars while wrestling to break the hose joints. |

It works quite well sealing leaks that don't have any movement, such as corroding radiator tubes. But the heater valve tends to leak each time you move the control, which disturbs any sediment that might have been building up.
If you just leave it half-open, say, it often tends to seal itself until next time you move it. |
