Question If it ain't broke... don't do DP?!

Bought the car back in May - just trying to catch up on some regular maintenance. I bought the filter kit from DG online and so far I'v done the following to it:

1) Replaced air filter
2) Cleaned banjo bolt, pressure lines to and from the switchover valve and the valve itself (it needed it)
3) Adjusted the ALDA (3/4 turn CCW) because it was running like a snail off idle 4) Flushed the PS pump and changed the filter
5) Replaced GlowPlug #5

Here's my question: the filter kit shipped with the Diesel Purge kit - my question is SHOULD I do it if the car is running reasonably well (starts right, idles smoothly, no smoke and I get 30.3 mpg highway/city last check)? If it aint' broke don't fix it, right?!

On the other hand it may clean my IP, fuel lines etc. and do some good for the fuel delivery system....

Should I do it now or give it a rest?!
