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.....
