Easier to replace it, cheap insurance.

The damn thing lasted 20 years......pretty good life. Diesels are not exactly a smooth engine to begin with, so that'll be hell on electronics, particularly on solders.

Replace and enjoy....no need to overthink.

well after wasting an entire week running around and finding bloody rubber seals im now looking for a new shut off valve. i might pop the right hand cover off though and have a go at replacing the resistor that sits at the right hand end of the shut off valve as viewed when its atttached to the pump. if i can be arsed that is. yesterday she ran fine though so im scratching my head trying to figure out why she wouldnt run today. but its been an entire day spent mucking about with that bloody car for no result! very frustrating. and ofcourse because of this virus crap we're not allowed to wander around more then 10km here in france. its all so bloody maddening
