eBay ones are a bit hit and miss quality wise I've heard, probably saved you doing it twice. Hope you get the refund sorted. It will no doubt turn up tomorrow now you do t need it anymore. :)

Tim, are we talking about the mechanism immediately the handle, where the 6" pivot pin breaks out of the feeble casting... where we try to bodge it up with a cable tie ??
If this is the part you got from Andrew-Page, I will nip in there tomorrow, cos mine comes apart every 3 months for another cable tie replacement.....
