    phoned them to see if they would do a good will gesture as the warranty only run out 18 days ago to be told quote "no sorry due to current climate" so my response was sunny and bright

    Don't pay that mate, i had to replace mine, i got a new one for £160 + VAT from a local spares place with a years warranty. Fitting takes anyone with a bit of skill less than an hour to replace!!!! Save yourself a fortune!
