Hi Andy,

Just a few thoughts.  Did you import your tuner or get it from a uk 
dealer?  If the latter, I would have thought the dealer would/should 
have service facilities?

Also, not sure if Castle Electronics are still going but they used to 
offer a repair service.  They were in the birmingham area.

I must admit that I have always tended to use a manual tuner, less to 
go wrong with them but I am probably getting old and not so brave.
