Sounds like it broke, and somebody jury-rigged it!   Vice grips?

  Hi to ALL
  I would appreciate some guidance regarding the method of opening/closing
the
  heater control valve on the engine block. On my car, this valve has a small
  rounded nut which appears to be what would be turned to either open or
close
  the valve. On my previous 100/6, this was a small lever for engaging the
  valve.
  Was the design of the valve changed between the models, and if the one on
my
  3000 is correct (???)  then do you use a special tool to engage the valve or
a
  spanner?
