I've got a Bailey dump valve & my car all of a sudden wouldn't idle properly. The smaller spring had snapped (quite a common problem) so I relaced it & it was fine I got a similar spring from an engineering shop & did it myself as Bailey wanted £35ish to service it

I'd recommend the Forge for the reliability & the price. Although a bit more pricey than the Bailey they're rated a lot higher. I have a Bailey but it was a steal so I couldn't say no . It's a hell of a lot cheaper than the HKS but if money is no object then it's the b*@#ocks
