Any help would be much appreciated.Best regards Jim.

If yo are prepared to get creative, the 241726 sensor is available from RockAuto for a very low price.

Add in a 1 board processor such as a trinket, a small transistor, recirculating diode and a relay to the cost of the 241726 sensor and if you have some minimal C coding skills you could build a replacement for the thermal timer for about $50 Cdn $. For another 0.10 c, you could put an indicator LED on it to tell you when the injector was on and off. The one board processor would allow you to program any time and temperature points into it that you want - if you think you know better than Volvo / Bosch.
PS That Nordicar price was in Euro not £ which means that the cost of the part is only 1/2 a nose bleed, not a full nose bleed!
