what about the plastic valve gear I have heard it falls apart after a couple of runs and it still seems a bit of a daft place to put the control knob

Mine got hot enough to come off the threaded valve assembly. Had to glue it back on. This was a problem with the early Mamod Williams as well, later ones have a brass knob which uses an 'O' ring around the outside which comes off instead!
