Hi Damian,
I had a similar problem with my regulator. It turned out to be some debris that got into it. After a careful cleaning, I got it working again. The regulator has some internal washers, if those are damaged, I am not sure they will be easily replaceable.
I have a brand new regulator if you can't fix this one (got it from beverage factory thinking I will not be able to fix mine) - if the fittings to he solenoid match, you'll just have to replace the regulator and reuse the solenoid and needle valve ( assuming those work fine).
