:'( damnit yeah, a few ebay links in there, try removing a couple but to no avail.
Basically you need to look for diaphragm valve, or solenoid valve and look for a familiar picture. Often the diaphragm valves have to be "unscrewed" to actuate, but they would probably be pneumatically modifiable, as they all use the same principle.

I don't understand why you still want to use a sprinkler valve...

What do you mean you're not allowed to get it shipped over? If I were you, I'd have someone buy a sprinkler valve at Home Depot in the states for $11 and ship it to the UK. Total cost should be under $25 including valve and postage.
