When the valve in my people mover clogged I ordered a few from here:

Dirty cheap and they arrived fairly quickly.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

I ended up removing the valves entirely and it solved the problem.

I'll try what I think he's describing and see how I go, otherwise, I'll go look for an aquarium shop I suppose :?

Just confirming that droos pics don't work for me either.

I've not put water in my ND bottle yet but curious to know what fixes for you, if valve or reposition.

Can anyone tell me where the one way valve is in a na6, as I've not noticed it?

I found these on m.net. NA and NB. They're for US cars, but I think you can mentally flip them the right way :wink:

I haven't gotten a solution yet, I tried quickly to pull the check valves, but they were stuck on tight and I was in a rush. I'll have another go this weekend.
