I've just took mine apart.the gasket/pressure valve nut on cold inlet was loose and a few other nuts and bolts.no sign of damage.so tightened them all up.gonna try it again sometime. Probably next weekend now as taking the dog for a walk in the park with missus soon and my vans at my flat.

I hope my pumps not frozen now as left it in the van all night with no heater(-2 last night)

There is a way around it - probably cost nothing at all.  ;)
