The expert has twenty years trading and has a superb reputation locally. We trade mutually with each other so know each other. They have always resolved issues where we have not been able to or do not have the inclination. The issue started many months ago on an intermittent basis and progressively became worse.
As for if this resolution was indeed the root of the problem I cannot know for sure, I was not in the workshop when it was inspected. It went away, got inspected/tested, parts were changed and it came back working. What else could it be...unless of course it was something else simple and the expert is dishonest and has got away with it for twenty years.
The purpose of my post was to share the result in case it helped others since I have received help from the experts here.
