Having just replaced mine at 126,000 I was surprised how many cracks there were in the body.

Looking at the 2/4/6 as well it had lots of small cracks that can only get worse.

Inspect any replacement very carefully for such cracks would be my advice ...and trust not ..... :)

New ones BTW are £90.93 +VAT with TC (thats the 3.2 which I believe are identical to the 2.6 ones)

HTH

Well I have a slightly cracked but was working 2/4/5 one (if I'm right and the 3.2 is the same as the 2.6) that's done 12 years and 126,000 miles that you can have for the cost of post and packing. I give no guarantee on how long it will last, or even if the act of removing it has "moved" any internals that might prevent it working.

It was going to the tip, along with it's non-working 1/3/5 mate ... which I guess you don't want  ;D ;D ;D
