Ego 08 not firing (sort of)

I don't really know :S i just took apart, cleaned and relubed the LPR and HPR put it back together it now shoots paint properly.
In terms of the leak im confident i know the problem as i've had the exact same leak from PMR before. Its coming from between the solenoid and the marker body, given that fact that ive just disassembled the reg im sure its the seat, the rubber bit that sits on top the solenoid thats been blown.
I assume i'd be best ordering this from Planet Eclipse rather than somewhere like LiPS?
Mate as you are only up the road from me you can always pop the marker to me and i'll give it a full tech over..

Take it apart again and put it back together, making sure all the above is done, i had a leak in the grip when i stripped and cleaned my 08 but i knew i had put it together as normal but something wasnt right hence the leak so i dismatled and rebuilt and it worked fine. nothing was wrong just that something hadnt sealed right first time around.
The ego manual trouble shoots every possible thing that can go wrong by the way so refer to it, if you dont have one and the problem persists hit me up and i would gladly talk you through the trouble shoot problem from my manual mate.

All fixed 
.... I think
I got down the Solenoid and Qev, replaced the orings under the QEV, undid and resealed the valve plug, replaced the orings on the lower bolt, applied lube to all areas, leak seems to have stopped. BUT, when i first opened it up i noticed somthing bubbling from the side of the solenoid and when i gas it up here what sounds like the absolute most faintest air straining to release coming from the QEV. It aint losing air though, so im gonna take it as a win
Thanks for all your help guys, very much appreciated, if it goes wrong again i'll take you up on that Raider, thanks for the offer.
