Run the valve under hot water.

To prevent this only use short bursts into the keg to prevent icing. Unfortunately though sometimes as it's internal pressure that keeps the valve shut as the pressure drops they can start to leak. If this is the case i'd take it back to the shop where you bought it.

cheers Daab hot water didnt really work but it did slow it down looks like i may need a trip to shop at the weekend

oh well i need another kit anyway

Yes - the valve does tend to stick open slightly. After use I listen carefully to check if the valve is leaking, if it is then a sharp tap on the valve "nipple" sorts it.
