In the end I used bathroom silicone after testing it on an another piece of carbon to make sure there wasn’t a horrible reaction. Took a while to set, but did the job nicely.
Drac yep mine lasted that long as well. But the price of the new top end machines has made me look around at alternatives. The cordless versions look good, but it’s run time of 40 mins is never going to be enough to do the house in one go.
Probably not legal, but it wood deped on whether the police are in a grumpyood or not. If stopped I’d act surprised and say it’s only just been fitted, I can’t understand why it’s not working
Uniross normally do an alternative, price is normally midway between Nikon and the nobrand alternatives. Also look up on eBay from a seller called The Photgraphers Bag. They normally have original ones for a reasonable price. I bought a couple from them, one was duff and they promptly sent me another.
