Michel, you can service your hot water valve. It's most likely the
diaphragm which is ripped. If you can't find a New GT-6 heater valve,
you can remove the diaphragm from one which you can buy, MGB, Spitfire, etc.
and install it in the GT-6 body.
Note: you can use a Spitfire heater valve, but the heat settings on
your dash will be reversed.
I hope this helps.
