Thanks guys!

Given that I do 100 miles a day and I've already replaced it as a workhorse, I don't think there's a viable option other than to scrap it after 5 years of loyal service! :(

Then you have the issue fitting a 2nd hand unit. It could fail, it could have issues, problems matching it etc.
