Xantia Fast Idle Valve

I have just discovered that my fast idle valve is faulty. The revs have been high for a while now but the valve appeared to work correctly (when cold!). When I checked it this afternoon, after the car had been for a run, it did not work. As it cooled down it worked, on the bench, again for a while then stopped working again. From memory the ERG solenoid resistance was about 27 ohms whilst the non-working fast idle solenoid was about 370 ohms.
I have read that these valves are very expensive from Citroen (about £30) but that they may be cheaper from a Peugeot dealer. Does anybody have the Peugeot part number (and for the EGR valve as I might as well replece the pair) and price?
Alternatively is there another source of supply or an alternative part?
Regards
Richard

Honest I'm not on comission but they really helped me out and the service was spot on. CHEAP as well. Sorry for caps but I'm a right tight wad with the cash so it was nice to save a bit of hard earnd cash.

Forgot to say over night postage avalible. I saved over £50 with these guys. Same part from the same manufacture (Bosch in my case) but with out Citroen written on the bag and box.
